Answer 2

Web sites are getting more and more complex every day. And Web Developers need tools that can support them to create and maintain these sites. Macromedia anticipated this need and will be releasing a product line called Macromedia MX. Macromedia MX includes the tools, the browser extensions, and the server technologies to create Internet applications that meet the increasing needs of today's Web sites.

The Tools

Studio MX is the suite tool encompassing four products from Macromedia:

* Dreamweaver MX
Dreamweaver MX is an exciting new release of the Dreamweaver product line. It's got all the features DW fanatics have come to know and love, plus a lot of features for more traditional text editors.
* Flash MX
Flash MX was released last month. This is a powerful tool to help you create rich content for the Web.
* Fireworks MX
Fireworks MX provides the Web Developer an easy way to create and optimize dynamic, interactive graphics for Web sites.
* Freehand 10
This is a full-powered graphics editor, included in the suite.

Studio MX will be released some time in May for an introductory price of $799. That's less than the cost of Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX combined, and you also get Fireworks MX and Freehand 10 free. Watch for a full product review soon.

Browser Extensions
Macromedia Flash MX offers many new features to add animation and interactivity to Web pages. And Flash 6 puts those extensions right into the Web browsers. Macromedia MX tools are created to take advantage of the most advanced browser techniques and features.

Server Technologies

ColdFusion MX offers database connectivity, dynamic page creation, scripting, and much more. ColdFusion MX can run as a stand-alone Web server, or as an add-on to an existing Web server. If you're already using ColdFusion, then you may wonder why you should upgrade, but there are some great reasons:

* XML and .Net integration
* Implemented on the Java platform so you can use Java quickly
* Integrated with Studio MX allows for faster development time

These products are an exciting new look at the Macromedia product line. Macromedia seems to have created an integrated suite that meets all the needs of a dynamic Web site Developer or Development Team.

Answer 3

It is a program that helps you make flash stuff : ) I personally prefer Flash 8, but what the heck! They are both made by Macromedia! (now owned by Adobe)

Flash Stuff: Basically, virtually all internet games are Flash.
Sometimes used to play videos without having to download

Answer 4

There's a big opportunity ahead, creating tools for people to easily learn from and control their environment. These "Rich Internet Applications" offer clear benefits. Previous opportunities still exist—print, presentation, standalone interactivity, and static web delivery aren't going away—but I believe we'll see much, much faster growth in helping people really "do" things on the web.

That's what Macromedia MX addresses. It's not just a single tool—it's a family of applications which make usable experiences more economical to build. The consumer runtimes, the authoring tools, and the server-side applications each play a role.

Protocols are open, because this is the web. Communication is done through standard HTTP, XML, more. Even though you can mix and match various runtimes, tools, and servers, Macromedia MX aims to pay for itself by making it faster and cheaper to develop such experiences—to let you focus on function and fit, rather than spending your effort on implementation details. The goal behind Macromedia MX is to give you more time each day to make really useful and usable applications.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But Macromedia MX is more than just software. Software isn't enough to drive a revolution like this. It's the community of designers and developers creating public applications who really push such revolutions forward. Where would ColdFusion be today without people economically creating useful web applications? Would Flash have become so widespread without people creating usable and efficient interfaces with it? It's the designers and developers, in every part of the world, who really make such new abilities available to everyone else.

That's why Macromedia invested in this Designer & Developer Center. Creating Rich Internet Applications requires multiple types of specialized knowledge: visual design, usability testing, application development, network connectivity, database access, more. Nobody's born knowing all this stuff. But people do find it advantageous to share knowledge, as shown by the amazing number of independent sites out there helping others with these technologies. You can do more in a community than alone.

In Macromedia's DevNet we're trying to more efficiently connect people together—to make it easier for newcomers to learn the various skills in creating Rich Internet Applications, and to make it more rewarding for experienced developers who help others enter the field, and to help coordinate the resources you need to get your job done quickly, cheaply, and accurately.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So... how do we do that? What are the most effective ways to share technical knowledge...to reduce your total cost of development?


Components and reusable code fragments are a big winner, because these can directly cut learning and development costs. The new tree menu component in Macromedia Flash will save developers scads of time, and endusers will save time recognizing how such standard components work. But there are trust issues with components too, because you have to be sure of whose instructions you're executing. The top downloads at the Macromedia Exchange turn out to be those which received the most testing investment. Free components are useful, but some type of mutual exchange may provide even more value.

Articles , tutorials, TechNotes, case studies can all help, but only if you're finding the document you're seeking. Searching is one avenue, but navigational directories are another necessary route...you'll see better subject taxonomy in the next major rev of this site. Collaborative documents like Wiki and LiveDocs are great for a community to explore a subject and refine its description, but need precise targeting and ruthless editing to be economical to read. Some documents may live on the Macromedia site, but it's essential to find all such resources no matter where they may be stored.

Person-to-person routes help as the work area becomes more specialized. The Macromedia newsgroups are very popular, and independent mailing lists offer even deeper commitment to smaller groups. The outgoing Macromedia News Feed has been adopted by several sites, and we're looking at ways to display good external news feeds too. Weblogs offer a way to track one person's view of what's important and noteworthy, day by day. Different people, groups and sites each hold different pieces of the puzzle.

Face-to-face contact can be the strongest of all, whether it's joining a local user group, or attending a local event or training. This brings up localization issues—although English is the Internet's language, it's not the people's language. There's a balance between providing a wide range of articles in one language and translating them into many languages.
You know more than we do—people creating these varied applications out in the world have more specialized knowledge than anyone in Macromedia does—so here in the Center we have to find ways to more efficiently connect people together. We're working with all the above techniques, trying things and testing which are the most useful. Could you give us some guidance in this week's SOAPBOX thread, please? What types of things do you need to take advantage of this opportunity in Rich Internet Applications? Thanks!

It is the name of a software company, to the extent of my knowledge. American corporation headquartered in California, developer and manufacturer of software for graphics and multimedia development and creation. And that's what that company is. The meaning of it? Erm.
