Over the past two years,
AJAX as a general
technological approach
seems to be maturing very
quickly. I won't bore
this magazine's savvy
audience by recounting
for the umpteenth time
how, when, and by whom
the term was coined, and
I fully realize that many
of you h...
Roman astrology turned
into the Greek alphabet
recently, with the
announcement that the
previously named
'Scorpio' has been
released as the
ColdFusion 8 Beta.
Initial reaction from the
most sophisticated
members of the CF
community was positive.
The increasing
integration of Adobe and
former Macromedia
products continues with
Creative Suite 3, which
is available in a version
targeted specifically to
Web developers and

Before forming Uproar,
Cron spent nearly two
decades at CMP Media
where under his
leadership the company
grew from an information
technology trade
publishing company into a

Development and Design
are two sides of the same
coin in the digital age,
and it is very nice to
consider in any case how
well these two formerly
separate worlds have come
together over the past
two decades. Adobe was at
the forefront from the

stop time and consider
what's going on 'right
now' or 'these days,' we
often think about how our
lives and times used to
be simpler. How often do
you recount stories ...
'Ease-of-use' is one of
those buzz terms that
software marketeers
routinely inject into
their promotional copy to
describe their product.
The term is one of those
unarguable concepts;
after all, who's not in
favor of ease-of-use?
Last month, we addressed
platonic concepts in this
space, albeit in as
surface-level a way as
possible. Just added a
little pretentiousness to
what could have otherwise
been a deadly dull
column. The topic of hand

practical reality of

If you don't like change,
stay away from the
software development
world. But if you embrace
change, then these are
among the most exciting,
if volatile, times in
years.
Benchmarks can mean
whatever you want them to
mean, it has always
seemed. Although useful
as a rough guide to
performance, and
sometimes
price/performance,
technology companies are
famous for interpreting
complex benchmark results
as victories over their
