I received a few emails about Retrospective MAX - The Big Review as I spoke openly about several aspects of Macromedia and MAX. I am not one to hold back or sugar-coat my opinion when it comes to my profession or the tools I use with regularity.
I am paid professionally to provide my opinion in regard to consulting projects. I take that role very seriously as I am really asking others to spend money based on my opinion. My consulting clients deserve an unbiased perspective and one in which I have truly explored alternatives that might position a project for success. I would hope that if you were a consulting client of PowerSDK Software Corp., you would appreciate my candor and my honest unbiased perspective.
We are at the very beginning of the rich media revolution and if the tools and techniques are going to improve dramatically sugar-coating your opinion just holds things back. Tool developers like Macromedia need your raw opinion in order to improve their products. I personally spent a good percentage of time at MAX listening and learning from developers in regard to improving PowerSDK products, FLOW and SYNC. Talking to customers allowed me to understand their perspective and to fine tune development to meet their needs.
The individuals named in the Blog entry were recognized for their personal work. In no way and at no time did any of the listed individuals leak information to me. The controversial information provided was gathered from many sources across the course of the conference and specifically not from the individuals listed. To hold any of these individuals accountable would be a mistake on the part of management at Macromedia. Mike Chambers and Gilles Drieu are exceptional individuals making a profound contribution to Flash and were listed as such. If anyone at Macromedia has an issue with my comments or the information provided I welcome them to contact me directly to address their concerns.
