Better Tooling

• DW CS4 has Live view and Live Code modes
  
• Any ajax framework can be pulled into DW and dropped into the code easil
• Open web Formats in DW, PS, Flash and Flex
  

Better Framewors

• Yui, Dojo, Ext JS, jQuery, Flex are the main ajax frameworks with html +flash
  
• Flex - free, faster development, consistent across any browsers and OS's, you can make expressive flash appliations
• nytimes energy sector demo (done in flex)
• In flex you can choose to allow "view source" if you want to allow others to see grab the flex code
• Problem is how search engines search the text in a bubble chart for example
• Adobe has a way "headless flash player" that will make the page act like it is stopping and starting different parts for indexing (as if on different pages instead of one)
