Dreamweaver Next: CSS Media queries

A while ago I commented on a possible future Dreamweaver feature that allows moving content from Illustrator into Dreamweaver via copy and paste. There's also an updated video: Canvas for Designers.

Adobe's putting out showing off some potential Dreamweaver features at a new blog: Design and Web. One post shows how we may be doing as part of a workflow that assists with development for multiple screen sizes:
Multiscreen authoring with CSS3

I'm excited to get my hands on this feature as mobile is getting ever bigger. Adobe and Macromedia before that have been crowing over the coming of mobile, and the tools seem to be finally trying to sing the same tune.

You may have heard of event bubbling, but now there are Code Bubbles too

While roaming around today on Hacker News, I ran across Code Bubbles, which is an interesting way to handle navigating through your code by displaying relevant portions of the code you're looking through in bubbles that allow you to blow up new bubbles as you drill down into your code. Be sure to watch the video on the main page as it will show you a bit more about what these code bubbles really are. It's quite interesting.

If you're a Java developer, then you may want to sign up for their beta program. I don't do much Java (maybe 200-300 lines in the last couple of years), but I'd certainly like to see more about how this type of viewing of code will work, especially if could be expanded into the JavaScript realm.
