Kudos to both of them. Hopefully more organizations will follow suit.

I’m a Firefox user, so I went looking for an add-on that would do the same thing in Firefox. While it’s not quite as organized (i.e., it isn’t structured in a tree menu like the Activity Window), the “generate” tab of livehttpheaders is a pretty close substitution.

UPDATE:  As Tim notes below, Firebug also has this capability. It’s under the ‘net’ section of the Firebug window. You have to choose to enable this feature before you see anything.

It’s pretty minimal, but it’s better than a placeholder.

Branden Hall has great article on Alchemy, a new technology which compiles C/C++ into Actionscript. This will allow Flash and Flex developers to take advantage of powerful open-source C/C++ code libraries.

One of the underlying themes at MAX that was interesting for me is that many of the applications are moving to open, XML-based formats (INDL, FXG, FXP, XFL), which will allow people like me to write applications that interact with those files. Combine that with the ability to create desktop applications with AIR, and new extensibility tools like Switchboard and PatchPanel, and all of the sudden I’ve got a tremendous amount of control over my workflow. There’s also a lot of potential to create tools for others to use.

Looks like recorded sessions from MAX North America will be available (for free) in the next two weeks or so at tv.adobe.com. I planning on checking out many of the sessions that I missed as there were far too many good sessions to choose from.

I can honestly say that I went through all of these steps, except the internship phase, and that’s probably only because I started on my career path after finishing college. It’s solid advice if you’re looking for a job in animation, design, or development.
