This is the first in a series of articles regarding the "gold rush" in the browsers market. A rush that has been mounting for the past 2 years and it is now in the peak with the imminent (final) releases of Microsoft's IE8 and Google's Chrome, against the all and mighty FireFox (that managed to overcome the obstacle of 20% market share), the iRising Safari and Opera! The journey of the Browser Wars begins now...

Adobe's FireWork CS 4 (actual version 10) is the new "tool" of the trade for (web) developers and designers that want to create: websites, RIAs (Rich Internet Applications), UIs (User Interfaces) and any kind of design or layout that will interact with users. FireWorks is not very popular in the design market, since most of the users prefer Photoshop to create their layouts. In this short review/presentation I will focus on three things: a) what are the new features of the program, b) whether the FireWorks CS4 was really improved from the previous release and c) what new features Adobe should have included and they didn't. In (the rare) case you are not familiar with FireWorks, then you will have to see and use it ASAP, especially if you are a (graphic) design and you are using other products of Adobe's Family (Flash, DreamWeaver and Flex) in your business or creative workflow.

flash cs4 box Adobe Flash C4 is out along with other great software of Adobe’s CS4 suite! We have been waiting for this release, along with Flash Player 10 for a very looong time, or at least I have. Promises of "pseudo" 3d, fully customizable and easy animations, animation presets, bone and IK systems and many many many wonderful things were ready to be delivered to the hungry audience! Bellow you will find my thoughts, first impressions and opinion about one of the best (maybe the best) software/platform in the web-town! My experience with Flash CS4 is short, about 3 or 4 hours...so maybe a month or two after I have worked fully with it, I will have a more concrete opinion and write a full review.

I am great fun of Flash since 1999, when I started to work professionally in the Flash platform. I’ve followed along every transition and never complaint. I must admit that I was a little afraid when Adobe bought Macromedia, but (thank god) the transition went smoothly like a baby’s butt! The following is not an actual review of the products, is something between: article, review, presentation and first impressions!
