Dreamweaver and Flash join Edge Tools in the cloud
Dreamweaver, one of the first, and perhaps the most famous visual Web-design app, has evolved over time into a powerful development tool that can facilitate almost any kind of website or project. Today the app—alongside Flash Professional and the HTML5-oriented Edge Tools & Services suite—joins Adobe's new Creative Cloud Web-oriented lineup. The company's new cloud initiative, announced at the Adobe Max 2013 creative conference, offers enhancements to all the Web-design applications.
In Adobe's transition from licensed Creative Suite to Creative Cloud subscriptions, familiar apps get an upgrade while subscribers get a slate of extra services for a $50 monthly subscription. Access to Sync services, 20GB of online storage, the Behance community hub, automatic cross-platform downloading and updates to all programs in the suite, and training are some subscription benefits.
Sync Settings features let you log in to Creative Cloud from any computer to sync and access files, preferences, and site settings. Edge Web fonts, available via Creative Cloud, offer use of its library, powered by Typekit.
Dreamweaver CC
With Dreamweaver CC, Adobe has introduced CSS Designer, a visual editing tool that generates standards-based Web code, letting you apply CSS properties such as gradients and box shadows. The Enhanced Fluid Grid Layout feature facilitates the visual construction of Web designs and responsive layouts for projects viewed on different screen sizes. Adobe has done some housecleaning with Dreamweaver CC too, modernizing the interface and removing outdated features.
