Preface

Edge is an all-new tool from Adobe (currently in pre-release) that seeks to enable the authoring of motion and interactive experiences through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a manner consistent with other Creative Suite applications. The Edge application shares many features with other Adobe products, particularly Flash Professional, After Effects, and InDesign. This book will detail how to use this professional authoring software to create highly engaging content that targets Web standards. Content created in Adobe Edge does not rely on a plugin, so it can be run within any standard browser, even on mobile devices. The goal of this quickstart guide is to provide a direct overview of what it takes to create engaging content for the Web and provide a level of familiarity with Edge in order to actually get it done!
