I had looked at Adobe's online shop to make sure that CS6 wasn't available. Clicking on the dropdown showed: Mark Gibbs 2013-05-22T03:27:02-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2013/052013-backspin.html?source=nww_rss There are jobs that robots might be able to do in the near future. Gibbs has ten that they're unlikely to steal from meat machines. Mark Gibbs 2013-05-20T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2013/052013-gearhead.html?source=nww_rss If you're doing serious Web content engineering you might well choose an all-singing, all-dancing product such as Adobe's Dreamweaver. The latest version of Dreamweaver in Adobe's Creative Suite 6 (released just over a year ago) was really impressive with new features such as an improved user interface, support for jQuery UI widgets, better cascading style sheet Version 3 support and support for PhoneGap. All in all, a very cool and comprehensive Web development platform.

Maybe you were lucky and it was a brief hiccup with minimal financial consequences. Or maybe you had a disaster of biblical proportions, such as the one that befell Levi Strauss in 2008.

This is never a good idea. Mark Gibbs 2013-05-06T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2013/050613-gearhead.html?source=nww_rss How would you like to build a global enterprise-scale data access infrastructure? A daunting prospect, yes? Imagine creating a system that could make any subset of any significant data resource in your organization available where it's needed without incurring insane implementation and maintenance costs ... sounds too good to be true? Mark Gibbs 2013-05-02T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2013/042513-backspin.html?source=nww_rss Last week here in Backspin I discussed how real-world "things" that aren't easily augmented with digital instrumentation, such as bicycles, cars and even dogs, can be indirectly connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) using physical ID tags and online proxies. This is, as I pointed out, a powerful concept.
