Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 beta preview

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Adobe Labs

On Adobe Labs is the beta available Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 (stiletto), Adobe Fireworks and Adobe Soundbooth! You could install the beta of Dreamweaver parallel to that, but you can only run one instance of the application (or CS4 or CS3 beta, for example). Adobe recommends performing a backup of all your settings, emphasizing that being a beta does not guarantee anything about any malfunctions.

With more and more interesting than the completely redesigned interface, available in Dreamweaver beta, we find:

  • Live View: thanks to the introduction of open source WebKit engine (the same used by Safari and Adobe AIR) is now possible to work with code and preview simultaneously, with a yield WYSIWYG never seen before
  • Code hinting support (auto completion synopsis) for some of the framework Ajax: jQuery, Prototype and Spry (sin was not included Mootools)
  • Integration with Subversion! It was time!
  • Medium (native) of Adobe AIR - then just add extensions

On TV Adobe (http://tv.adobe.com) you can follow these demonstrations of beta!

It approaches, then, the time for an upgrade of the suite ...

  • the library aNoobi shows 2 books instead of 5
