I try to keep up to date with whats going on in the IT world, either through the various news letters, news sites, other blogs and magazines. I´m interested in anything to do with IT (partly because I need to for my job, partly because I´m a big geek), but obviously because of my main job role I´m more interested in the web side of things.
Because of this I was quite suprised to find out that the new version of Macromedia´s product group, Studio 8 is about to be released (ish). The fact that I found out about it from a magazine as well, which is normally a few weeks behind the online sources but a bit more concrete in it´s information, was also suprising. I don´t know if Macromedia were trying to keep this one a bit more low-profile, if my holidays means I just missed it all completely, or if the whole Macromedia/Adobe thing just took up everyone´s column space.
I´ve only had a chance to go and have a quick look at the site and sign up for the trial version notification but it looks as though they might have put a fair few improvements in it (especially Dreamweaver) that could make it worth the upgrade. Time to investigate!
I'm a web developer based in the East Midlands, UK and if I keep up the current rate, I might have developed 3 million sites by the time I retire
