It’s been widely reported that CS4 is to be launched on September 23rd. And, Adobe is exhibiting at Web Directions South on September 25th and 26th. So, I’m wondering what folks might be able to se at the Adobe stand at Web Directions South? Just speculating wildly is all ;-)

Plenty to do after hours during Web Directions South this year – rest assured, you will not be going back to your hotel room after things wrap up at the conference and workshops each day. Please let me know if you’re organising something you’d like me to publicise – happy to spread the word! Wednesday […]
Because browsers evolve so rapidly, there really is no time to sit back and feel that you already know it all if you are a front end developer. New browsers give you a lot to be excited about with new levels of support for CSS, but at the same time you’ve got to stay up […]
Some very exciting news for everyone who’s going to be in town for Web Directions South 2008. Those four days in September just got even better with the Webjam team announcing that the all new Webjam 8 will happen at Bar Broadway on September 25, right after our opening night drinks. So I think you […]
Following on from all the comments we got on the the two blog posts we put out there last week on this topic, John and I decided to do a bit further investigation into extending wifi into the conference theatres this year at Web Directions South. It hasn’t quite been a Channel 7 investigation, but […]
Only one more day to get the $100 discount for Web Directions South. Don’t miss out!
Since we started Web Directions, we’ve tried to make the conference accessible as possible. Which doesn’t just mean accessible to people with special needs, but also as affordable as possible. One way we do this is by making the conference as reasonably priced as possible. Now, you might say $1050 is a pretty significant price, […]
Via Web Directions speaker Gabriel White‘s blog “Small Surfaces“, is a detailed article of the history of touch technology in user interfaces, going back into the dark ages early 1970s, in the Economist magazine’s quarterly Technology Review. Well worth a read ahead of Web Directions, where both the iPhone and Surface will no doubt get […]
All of us in the web industry know about Opera, the browser, and probably have installed it for testing, and maybe even our everyday web use. What many of us don’t really realize is the sheer reach of the Opera platform. The browser in the Wii is powered by Opera Hundreds of millions of mobile […]

In what appears to have become something of a tradition, we’ve extended the discount period, which was to end tonight, until next Wednesday. So, if you still need to make arrangements, bribe the boss and so on, you have a few more days. This year looks set to be even better attended than last year, […]
John wrote here yesterday about Wifi availability at the conference venue this year. The good news is, if all goes according to plan, we should be swimming in the network, which is great. There’s been a bit of talk about backchannels, and specifically, whether or not Wifi should be available in the theatres as well […]
Last year, Adobe became involved with Web Directions, as a key supporter. For those of your who’d been to previous conferences, I hope you felt that across the board, the quality of the conference had improved – from the venue, to the number of sessions and tracks, to the parties and receptions, and beyond. We […]
