""" - Jason ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Macromedia Introduces Dreamweaver Ultradev MACROMEDIA INTRODUCES DREAMWEAVER ULTRADEV Visual solution enables delivery of e-business applications on Internet time San Francisco, California-May 8, 2000-Macromedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: MACR)today announced Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev, the visual solution for rapid Web application development. Dreamweaver UltraDev is the first authoring software that allows developers, programmers, and designers to visually create and edit data-driven Web applications on multiple server platforms. Using Dreamweaver UltraDev, e-businesses can accelerate delivery of projects ranging from dynamically generated pages and forms, to enterprise class solutions such as e-commerce stores, inventory management systems, and database applications for intranets. Dreamweaver UltraDev generates applications that take advantage of Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP), Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages (JSP), and Allaire ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) technologies to connect to industry standard servers, making it ideally suited to today's heterogeneous development landscapes. Dreamweaver UltraDev meets the needs of a wide range of Web developers. Current application builders will increase their productivity with visual authoring, while retaining total control over source code. Designers new to application development will be productive immediately because they can now easily visualize and edit dynamic server-side content and application logic. Live data streamlines authoring Dreamweaver UltraDev enables users to preview Web applications populated with live, editable data within the authoring environment. Application builders can inspect databases, build queries, create application logic, and then view dynamic content using Live Data Preview. This unique feature reduces time spent switching between non-visual development environments and a Web browser to view designs or test functionality. "Visualizing dynamic server side content at design time will revolutionize the way people develop Web applications," said Kevin Lynch, chief technology officer for Macromedia. "Dreamweaver UltraDev will empower developers to work more efficiently when creating these Web applications across their choice of databases, application servers, and operating systems." Built on Macromedia Dreamweaver In addition to specific functionality for building applications, Dreamweaver UltraDev provides all the features of Macromedia Dreamweaver 3. Dreamweaver UltraDev takes advantage of the Roundtrip HTML, Roundtrip XML, and Roundtrip Server Markup found in Dreamweaver to preserve the integrity of application source code. Members of the 500,000-strong Dreamweaver community will immediately feel at home in the familiar user interface. Developers can take advantage of tight integration with Macromedia Fireworks, Flash, and Shockwave as well as extend and customize the application using the Dreamweaver extensible architecture. "Support for multiple server-side scripting languages, live data preview, clean code I can fine tune, and the tremendous extensibility means I can customize Dreamweaver UltraDev and deliver powerful Web applications with less effort," said Tom Pizer, vice president of interactive services for Fig Leaf Software. "In the competitive world of Web application development, the time we save goes right to the bottom line." Support for standard technologies Dreamweaver UltraDev enables developers to build Web applications on leading industry server platforms such as Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) for ASP applications, Allaire ColdFusion for CFML applications, and IBM WebSphere and iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 4.1 for JSP applications. Dreamweaver UltraDev can also link to any ODBC, ADO, or JDBC database source or to legacy data systems through COM objects, and JavaBeans. </snip> ________________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS.(Interactive Art and Technology).Design Director
