Ha, well right now I am mostly just using Dreamweaver (don't ask, but to sum up, I can't install other tools myself on my work machine) for HTML/Javascript/CSS. I'm really more about learning the languages and techniques rather than the tools though, but good question! Jason Merrill

Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May I'd second Fluent, based on feedback I got about the last one. I didn't attend myself, though. Once you have a specific toolset, you might find other, more directed, conferences. For example, we do a

I have switched to HTML5, from Flash, for my web apps as so many of my customers want to use iPad. My apps are medical in nature (use of them requires proper professional credentials) and so I don't want to put them on the App store. I charge a subscription fee for access to the apps and issue

I was a big FDT user, but 5.5 really started to mess with my flow. I never was a big fan of Flex/Flash Builder. I switched to IntelliJ IDEA for AS and have just continued that through now as I'm doing almost zero Flash work in lieu nearly all HTML now. I really like the tool, and to be able to use

The Sencha stuff is certainly worth looking in to, considering previous Flex/Flash evangelists are on the Sencha team now. Of course, that's a larger framework that comes with certain expectations as opposed to understanding the underlying technology and learning needed to excel in that field.
