Macromedia would like some more money from me Macromedia pushes subscription plan. The company announces a new software-by-subscription program along with an upgrade to its MX line of products. Ouch, I paid retail last fall for Studio MX for use on my Powerbook, that was $800 I believe, I've bought the 1st DRK for another $100, and was about to get off my duff and buy the 2nd. Now Macromedia is suggesting that the full MX suite plus the DRKs are worth $1,500/year? I'll wait for the full details, but I'll say right now I hope this extra content is worth it. Now the Essentials service at $300/year for just the DRKs doesn't sound too bad. I've been impressed with the DRK content and if they stick to a quarterly release schedule and keep the content value up, I'll be a happy customer there. Update: I see now that existing Studio MX customers can get started with DevNet for $600. If they do release the next versions of Flash and Dreamweaver this year along with 2 additional good quality DRKs, it would definitely be worth my cash. $1,000/year for keep it renewed, still uncertain about that one though. 3:45:44 AM    comment []

Flash Components - This seems to be an area of int .... Flash Components - This seems to be an area of interest that goes from strength to strength. I just received an email alerting me to this Component Headquarters website. I'm not quite sure what I think of the UI on the home page - more Flash than Flash - but it certainly shows the increasing popularity of Flash Components and the sophistication of some of them.

Servlet -> CFML - I was intrigued by this code snippet from Matt Liotta that shows how to redirect from a Java Servlet to a ColdFusion page: getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/index.cfm[per thou]).forward(request, response); I believe Matt has suggested this idiom can be used to wrap a ColdFusion application in a Java Servlet that secures the application for licensing purposes, amongst other uses. Yet another way Java and ColdFusion are living more happily together these days. [An Architect's View] 9:18:29 PM    comment []
