A few months ago I had the pleasure to get involved tech reviewing a book by David Powers on CSS — one of the technologies I used to work with on a daily basis before switching almost exclusively to Flash Platform development. I have to honestly say this is most probably the best book I’ve read more
I’ve been reading “Coders at Work” by Peter Seibel over the holidays and wanted to share my review. The book is basically a series of in-depth interviews with 15 interesting programmers including people like Brendan Eich (inventor of JavaScript), Ken Thompson (inventor of UNIX), Peter Norvig (Director of Research at Google). Other programmers interviewed are: read more

Its hard to pinpoint what exactly makes this conference so special but if I read more
Having been to both the Chicago and Barcelona editions of Adobe MAX, I thought it might be worth in doing a little comparison of the two in terms of location, sessions, party etc.
In case you didn’t pick this up with all the announcements Adobe made this last week — Adobe Media Player is now available on labs.adobe.com as a prerelease product along with beta 2 of the AIR runtime. Adobe already has some content providers lined up such as CBS, PBS, Yahoo! and services like blip.tv help read more
