Finally we're there and can give you a look :) I'm really happy and proud to give you the first proper look at Canvas, our visual programming system for Fabric 2.0. Quick highlight video: https://vimeo.com/121492305 Tons more information here: http://fabricengine.com/canvas-videos/ This is the first part of the FE2.0 plan, and we'll be showing this in more detail at GTC on March 18th - please contact me if you want to meet up. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say, and hopefully getting you on the alpha/beta when we open things up (there is a sign up form on the Canvas page). Cheers, Paul and the rest of the Fabric team
