San Jose, Calif. - Adobe has announced the first public preview release of Adobe Edge, a new HTML5 Web motion and interaction design tool that enables Web designers to bring animation to Websites using standards such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
Adobe Edge is immediately available for Mac and Windows platforms via a free download on Adobe Labs, www.labs.adobe.com.
Due to the rapid changes around HTML5, Adobe is adopting an open development methodology for Adobe Edge and is releasing it for user feedback much earlier in the development process than normal-before it reaches beta. Today's public preview is just the first of multiple preview releases where Adobe expects additional HTML5 functionality to be incorporated. Currently, Adobe Edge enables users to add motion to existing HTML documents and also enables users to easily create visually rich HTML and CSS3 content from scratch.
Adobe Edge is the latest development in Adobe's HTML5 and Web standards strategy. This summer Adobe is sponsoring the Expressive Web Tour HTML5 Camps to continue providing further support to people interested in HTML5 and also launched a new online resource showcasing some of the newest and most expressive HTML5 and CSS3 features being added to the modern Web.
