...do what you enjoy for a living, and you'll never work a day in your life. Try and get more money from the PERL job, and ultimately take that. I've worked in both languages extensively and.NET is irritating as well. Working in large corporations is also irritating because you hardly feel like you're making a difference or contributing to the company's success. I'm sure you'll have much more fun at the PERL job, and happiness is really what matters most. Life is definitely too short to be stuck in a crummy job M-F.
Well when you think about it, Fireworks is competing with ImageReady. I find ImageReady is very easy to use, and almost more efficient that Fireworks. Also, it already comes freely bundled with PhotoShop.
I think given the choice between ImageReady and Fireworks, they'll opt for the former.
All great points.
And while my general assumption is that Adobe will scratch LiveMotion, Fireworks, GoLive, and Freehand...I'd never considered what would happen to ColdFusion. I've got nothing but respect for that programming language, and hope they continue to support it.
There's no doubt Macromedia is a powerplayer over the web, while Adobe owns the print world. The majority of sites these days are making even just a subtle migration to Flash. Yes, PDF is better suited for downloadable forms and printouts...but Flash just catches the eye. And it's only getting better.
With this acquisition, I'm hoping for a few major adjustments in Flash:
Better support for font management across platforms.
Flash gains the ability to resize rasterised graphics bi-cubicly, similar to Photoshop.
Ballmer is largely credited for tripling the company's cash balance, with sales growing from less than $23 billion in 2000 to $36.8 billion last year.
All thanks to Age of Empires.
