In my days at doing tech support for Sony, I worked extensively with their proprietary time-line based movie editor software, because it came pre-installed on many of their computers. The Flash-style application came into being to empower consumers with an easy way to import raw home-movie footage from a Sony camcorder. It was used to edit the footage, which you then exported to another piece of Sony software to be used to burn an actual DVD, complete with chapters and cutsey effects – a one-of-a-kind family treasure to share. I guess you could almost say that Sony entered the social media arena back then.
All of which sort of brings me to the real point of this post. This weekend, there’s gonna be a whole lot ‘o Adobe goin’ on as some of their evangelists join us in Raleigh to wow us with the possibilities of some of their latest and greatest web technologies.
The event, dubbed CFinNC, is free to attend. It features Adobe’s Cold Fusion product. One of my primary reasons for going is to learn more about Flash and Actionscript, but announced today on the blog for the event, another must-see session about using Microsoft Excel with Cold Fusion – how cool is that? (okay one has to be somewhat geeky to agree)
