First, Constantin Ehrenstein provides an overview of the new tool, then guides viewers step by step through a practical example of a web application and introduces them to the functions of Flash Catalyst. Adobe System Engineer Alex Ciorapciu then reports from the development kitchen and uses workshops to show what other functions Catalyst offers. Flash Catalyst CS5 bridges the gap between designers and developers. This video training introduces the workflows from the ground up.
