The Great Divide September 21, 2007

Although just one number has changed from Flash8 to Flash9, so much has changed, they might as well be on separate continents. The canyon is the best metaphor I've found to help project managers, programmers and the like, understand the differences in upgrading, and communication gap in them talking to each other, as well as the difficulties if Flash8 and prior projects are continued to be invested in, how much harder it will be in the future. The paradigms are that different, and the rate of development at Adobe is increasing faster, so
in the future it may be even harder to get up to speed.
