Welcome (especially to those in the UK...)
Hello and welcome, my name is Andrew Shorten and I'm part of the technical pre-sales team at Adobe. In this blog I hope to bring together news and information on Flash, Flex and other Adobe technologies, with particular focus on providing a UK perspective in my posts.
Whilst absolutely everyone is welcome here, there is a lot going on in the UK, both within Adobe and the designer/developer community and I want to make sure we can highlight some of the events, seminars and competitions that are happening here as well as reference UK-produced content/applications that are built using Adobe's technologies.
As part of my role at Adobe, I spend time evangalising Adobe's tools, technologies and solutions and work closely with Adobe's enteprise account team to provide pre-sales technical support to key customers in the UK and Nordic region. I joined Adobe through the aquisition of Macromedia and have spent the last couple of year's focused on the Flash Platform, including Flex, Breeze and Flash Media Server, so this blog will likely focus on those products for the time-being, but will undoubtedly expand to include LiveCycle and Apollo going forward.
I'll be posting about some of the forthcoming UK events for designers/developers over the next couple of days... but in the meantime let's keep this interactive - if you've been working on a Flash-based site or you're building an RIA with Flex 2 and would like me to highlight it here as "made in the UK" then email me... ashorten at adobe.com.
