While I agree with you guys that it would be nice to have a marketing push aimed at informing and exciting developers, I'm not sure that it would be a worthwhile investment on Adobe's part (or any software company's, really); at least that's how I think they see it. Developers don't spend money and, in my experience, rarely affect how it gets spent in any significant way and on what technologies an organization will use, (though many seem to mistakenly think they have a larger impact on both) . I think the developers who do end up affecting the way these decisions are taken often dig to find the information they need and are only moderately inconvenienced by any lack of available low-level information. In the end, I just don't think the marketing folks care what anyone other than the aforementioned IT Manager types think. The mindset seems, very often, to be one of: market straight to the decision maker and if you do your job right, he'll take care of the rest.
Maybe I'm just rambling, but I've had this conversation with an associate a number of times about a number of different companies. I'm not speaking to whether this is negative or positive, but it does seem to be the case. Also, I know that each of you out there reading this are all the exceptions to this and have tremendous pull on your organization's decision making, so please don't feel insulted. : ) --Ferg Bryan Stevenson wrote: > preaching to the choir Rick ;-) > > Bryan Stevenson B.Comm. > VP & Director of E-Commerce Development > Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. > phone: 250.480.0642 > fax: 250.480.1264 > cell: 250.920.8830 > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > web: www.electricedgesystems.com > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231963 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
