Macromedia Introduces Dreamweaver Ultradev

MACROMEDIA INTRODUCES DREAMWEAVER ULTRADEV Visual solution enables delivery
of e-business applications on Internet time

San Francisco, California-May 8, 2000-Macromedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: MACR)today
announced Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev, the visual solution for rapid Web
application development. Dreamweaver UltraDev is the first authoring
software that allows developers, programmers, and designers to visually
create and edit data-driven Web applications on multiple server platforms.

Using Dreamweaver UltraDev, e-businesses can accelerate delivery of projects
ranging from dynamically generated pages and forms, to enterprise class
solutions such as e-commerce stores, inventory management systems, and
database applications for intranets. Dreamweaver UltraDev generates
applications that take advantage of Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP), Sun
Microsystems JavaServer Pages (JSP), and Allaire ColdFusion Markup Language
(CFML) technologies to connect to industry standard servers, making it
ideally suited to today's heterogeneous development landscapes.

Dreamweaver UltraDev meets the needs of a wide range of Web developers.
Current application builders will increase their productivity with visual
authoring, while retaining total control over source code. Designers new to
application development will be productive immediately because they can now
easily visualize and edit dynamic server-side content and application logic.

Live data streamlines authoring Dreamweaver UltraDev enables users to
preview Web applications populated with live, editable data within the
authoring environment. Application builders can inspect databases, build
queries, create application logic, and then view dynamic content using Live
Data Preview. This unique feature reduces time spent switching between
non-visual development environments and a Web browser to view designs or
test functionality.

"Visualizing dynamic server side content at design time will revolutionize
the way people develop Web applications," said Kevin Lynch, chief technology
officer for Macromedia. "Dreamweaver UltraDev will empower developers to
work more efficiently when creating these Web applications across their
choice of databases, application servers, and operating systems."

Built on Macromedia Dreamweaver In addition to specific functionality for
building applications, Dreamweaver UltraDev provides all the features of
Macromedia Dreamweaver 3. Dreamweaver UltraDev takes advantage of the
Roundtrip HTML, Roundtrip XML, and Roundtrip Server Markup found in
Dreamweaver to preserve the integrity of application source code. Members of
the 500,000-strong Dreamweaver community will immediately feel at home in
the familiar user interface. Developers can take advantage of tight
integration with Macromedia Fireworks, Flash, and Shockwave as well as
extend and customize the application using the Dreamweaver extensible
architecture.

"Support for multiple server-side scripting languages, live data preview,
clean code I can fine tune, and the tremendous extensibility means I can
customize Dreamweaver UltraDev and deliver powerful Web applications with
less effort," said Tom Pizer, vice president of interactive services for Fig
Leaf Software. "In the competitive world of Web application development, the
time we save goes right to the bottom line."

Support for standard technologies Dreamweaver UltraDev enables developers to
build Web applications on leading industry server platforms such as
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) for ASP applications, Allaire
ColdFusion for CFML applications, and IBM WebSphere and iPlanet Web Server,
Enterprise Edition 4.1 for JSP applications. Dreamweaver UltraDev can also
link to any ODBC, ADO, or JDBC database source or to legacy data systems
through COM objects, and JavaBeans.
