So far so good, Ray didn't provide some sort of license with…

by kai on 17/01/2006

I've just watched a recorded breezo about Adobe LiveCycle and must admit that this line of products seems to be both interesting as powerful. I never really got involved with the details of Adobe's server technologies but I guess I should better be... :)
