[Episode #1824, First broadcast: of 2/27/2001] Norm Meyrowitz Norm Meyrowitz is a recognized authority on the evolution of Web development software and media technology for the Internet. Through his experience at Macromedia, Mr. Meyrowitz has overseen the creation of a broad array of multimedia and development software for the Web (Director and Dreamweaver), and drove the introduction of Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, the ubiquitous Internet media players now installed by more than 83% of the Internet population. Moonfruit.com Moonfruit offers you a free, online toolkit to help you create interactive websites and build vibrant online communities with friends, colleagues, business partners and families. Using the latest Flash technology, your sites will be fun and simple to build, fully customizable, and really full of impact. Macromedia Flash Flash, a popular authoring software developed by Macromedia, is used to create vector graphics-based animation programs with full-screen navigation interfaces, graphic illustrations, and simple interactivity in an anti-aliasing, resizable file format that is small enough to stream across a normal modem connection. The software, currently in version 5.0, is ubiquitous on the Web, both because of its speed (vector-based sites, which can adapt to different display sizes and resolutions, play as they download) and for the smooth way it renders graphics. Flash files, unlike animated but raster graphics Graphics Interchange Format and JPEG, are compact, efficient, and designed for optimized delivery.
