Morning Keynote at MAX

Tuesday morning in Las Vegas brought a great keyonte presentation from Kevin Lynch, Shantanu and others.  First off, the Blue Man Group performed for 15 minutes or so, getting the crowd pumped up.  Shantanu then gave an overview of the past year, showing some video of Adobe and Macromedia customers talking about the two companies joining.  The show then continued on, with Adobe employees showing off new features in Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash and more. Ben Forta showed new features in ColdFusion, and also new features in LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat, as well as some new features for the LiveCycle server products.

Kevin finished the demo by showing some Apollo demos, including some work that my group has been doing lately with eBay.  An eBay Apollo application was shown, and this was built using the open source eBay libraries that we've been working on lately.  We'll be working on making those libraries available in the next few days or so.

After that it was off to my first session teaching users LiveCycle Designer. A few problems getting started, but for the most part thing went fairly smoothly.  One more session today, then one on Wednesday and another on Thursday.

Photos and videos from the keynote to come, as soon as I get a chance to download the photos.
