Thanks, Adobe!

Adobe logoWe love free/open source software, but let’s face it, almost all of use some proprietary software. The designers behind WordPress, like many designers, frequently use Photoshop and Illustrator, so when Adobe stepped up to become a silver sponsor, we were pretty excited. Add to that the fact that the new Dreamweaver CS5 has WordPress support, and it’s a natural alliance. What do we mean by WordPress support in CS5? There’s a new code hinting feature that will suggest WordPress code/tags/hooks to save you the trouble of looking them up in the Codex, and it also uses proper syntax for custom PHP5 functions (especially handy for those plugin developers who are pushing the envelope and writing PHP5-only plugins). Granted, we’re not using Dreamweaver to write WordPress core code, but for new theme and plugin developers, it will provide a great tool to get started with WordPress development. So thanks, Adobe, for sponsoring WordCamp SF, and for supporting WordPress in CS5!
