Since the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe, they have been busy integrating the Flash and PDF technologies. The best example of this is their LiveCycle Enterprise Suite platform. Livecycle is a J2EE server based platform for delivering improved user experiences and document automation. It is an area that runs in parallel with the main developments in the Flash platform so this session will be of interest to Flash and PDF developers/designers alike.
The presenter, Michael Ellis, formally of Adobe Systems, has now set up a company focused on the use of Livecycle. He will explain what the platform is, how the underlying technologies are being used, and why this is very relevant to those interested in Adobe technologies.
Also Alun Ward and Glenn Clarkson will be looking at imaging software. further information at the Dreamweaver Oxford website.

Flash Oxford this month welcomes Charles Freeman. His work with rabbit.com has undeniably pushed the boundaries of the definition of multi-media. Have you ever imagined making phone calls from your web browser, possibly not, but he has. Join us to hear about how this concept went from idea to reality and how easily you can implement this technology for you own projects.
Charles Freeman’s work is rated as ”some of the most highly visible dynamic Flash content in recent years.” He is in the UK to speak at the Flash on the Beach conference, and has agreed to visit Oxford to talk about his role in developing Ribbit - a Flash telephony platform.
