Yesterday, I went to the Official Adobe CS5 Road Show at Suntec City, Singapore. A lot of people attended, If I’m not mistaken there would be over 1,000. Show started at 9:00am in the morning and then some Adobe Creative Suite Gurus presented new awesome features of CS5. First, Started with Terry White who is famous for his Adobe CS podcast and his tech blog called Terry’s Blog. Terry demonstrated InDesign CS5 tools, Illustrator variable width tool, Photoshop’s awesome features, HDR toning.

@ 11:00 am, We’ve got break time and I just walked around the sponsors and others’ booths to see some stuff like Wacom Intuos, Dell Tower Casing, laptop, Nvidia and HP. There was some PCs available for testing CS5. Then Another session was started around 11:30am. At that time, Greg Rewis started to cover amazing CS5 Web Premium features like Dreamweaver native support for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla. Photoshop’s Amazing Content Aware tool which is like AI tech really. And then he covered Photoshop to Flash, Flash Catalyst features. You know, I’m fan of Greg Rewis since I knew him from his book called Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver. I’m just glad that I’ve met Guru like him in real life.

Forgot to tell you that Greg Rewis gave me Adobe CS5 sport shirt. Isn’t that cool? I got it by answering his question. He asked the question to audience while he showing his web layout paragraph alignment problem which was 3 column layout and got problem in middle one. He asked what do you do if you face like that? And then I just shouted “I will use Firebug Inspector” then guess what he gave that shirt to me and said “Correct!!”. Then he started to point out one of the Dreamweaver CS5 features called “Inspector” which does exactly like Firebug’s one and the best part is you can edit live and old code will save as comment automatically. Honestly, I don’t use DreamWeaver, I’m just Coda guy. After I’ve seen those WP native support, Inspector support, Native Browser Lab support, I’m sure I’ll use Dw CS5 a lot of time. It can save a lot of time.

After lunch time break, Show was started again with Motion graphic, video editing Guru Jason Levine. Since I don’t know too much about video editing, I don’t know most of the jargon he talked. But it was great to see editing steps from guru like him. I went back to the home after his video editing techniques (around 3:30pm). I didn’t watch till closing and lucky draw program because I need to sleep for work. All I can say is that was great and successful show. I just learned a lot from those gurus. I hope I will have chance to meet again when CS6 is out in coming 2 years or more =P. Oh yeah, I just took some photos and videos with my old iPhone. Check it out!!

P.S ~ Forgot to tell you about that during Lunch Time Projectors are showing Wired iPad App which was built by using Adobe Flash to iPhone, iPad exporter. Actually, Apple has changed their App Store Terms after last month iPhone OS 4.0 Dev Preview Show. According to new App Store’s rule, Any apps or tools using 3rd party SDK, other languages except Cocoa Touch will be rejected. Including Flash CS5′s Flash to iPhone Exporter.
