Tour de LiveCycle ES2

Tour de LiveCycle has been updated in order to include the newly released version of Livecycle ES2. It is a separate AIR application having over 1000 pages of content, and probably the best way for getting a feel what LiveCycle ES2 is (and what is new compared to LiveCycle ES).

Survey – Flash Builder roadmap

Andrew Shorten, the new Flash Builder product manager, created a survey where you can express what do you want for the future version of the product. It takes 15 minutes and you can win some gadget if you are from USA or Canada. I think that if you are using Flash Builder you should fill in the survey – it is taken seriously, and there a lot of things to improve in this product.

The link for the survey is here.
