Adobe has unveiled the agenda for MAX 2006 which is in Las Vegas this year. I'm very interested in the Rich Internet Applications track, but the Live Cycle track looks great too. I think Live Cycle as a product family...

Macromedia has posted the day 1 and day 2 keynote videos from the recent MAX conference, of course in FLV flash video format. This is also a great example of video presentation and video chapter bookmarking. As a little sidenote:...
