Macromedia Studio MX-Mac

Summary: The all-around solution for web design.
Review: Dreamweaver MX, Fireworks MX, and Flash MX are the perfect trio for web design/development professionals. With the more seamless integration which MacroMedia has devised for this upgrade, they are even more valuable to you.

Dreamweaver provides the easiest WYSIWYG design capabilities I've found. MX also incorporates all of the features previously found in Dreamweaver UltraDev. Round-trip editing of Fireworks and Flash imports makes this your total web solution.

While I've always preferred Illustrator over FreeHand, and ColdFusion is strictly for the PC platform, the set is well worth your investment. And, if you're a fan of those two programs, so much the better.

Summary: New Paradigm
Review: Getting from proof-of-concept to production has never been simpler, more powerful, or more compelling. Simply revolutionary. One of the most powerful and pervasive development suites I've seen or used. The well-ordered convergence of technologies in StudioMX is truly inspired. Now data logic and structure, business logic and rules, and presentation logic can be clearly distinct from each other for cleaner, more succinct development methods, and more closely integrated for producing more powerful rich media network applications than ever before.
