New Adobe LiveCycle Developer Center
Today the web team took the wraps off of the new Adobe.com, but more importantly to LiveCycle developers was the new Adobe LiveCycle Developer Center page.
There were some major changes that we made for this new website. First of all, the product specific developer centers are all gone, replaced by one overall LiveCycle Developer Center. This better reflects our current product strategy and future vision. Many of you are building solutions with LiveCycle Workflow, and integrating the various LiveCycle pieces into that overall application. It was confusing to know whether to go to the LiveCycle Workflow developer center for information on Workflow and say LiveCycle Forms, or just go to the LiveCycle Forms developer center. Plus, you had to check out two pages to see what new content had been posted. Now, one simple page will get you all the information about all the LiveCycle software, which should make things much easier to find.
As we have over the past 3 months, the page will continue to be updated every week, hopefully on Monday mornings, so visit it regularly if you haven't been.
Some things still need to be worked on. For example, we haven't tied assets from the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program to "Your Account" on the top of each page. That will take a bit more work.
However, overall, I think this is a big plus for LiveCycle developers, and I'm anxious to hear your comments.
If you have questions about the overall Adobe developer center changes, this FAQ from Craig Goodman may help you. Jonathan Wall also gives a great overview of Adobe's developer community, including events that we're hosting or attending, how to engage our team etc... in this article.

Mike, this is a great move in a "Macromedia-ish" direction from the new, bigger Adobe. To get it really right, all you guys need to do is make all the assets, code samples, articles and documentn for developers available pretty much as free as Macromedia always did.
While LiveCycle and development is no longer the focus of my work; I've moved on, I WILL be taking a look when I can. I'm really looking forward to messing about with all this stuff!
I like the look of the new dev center, but I'll have to say that I'm disappointed to see the product specific pages gone.
