Blog Post 4: Adobe Max

At first, I was not particularly interested in the Adobe Max conference. I don’t use any Adobe products, and I don’t plan on buying any in the near future because they’re so expensive. I honestly expected to just told how great Adobe is, how everyone should buy it, etc. I have been turned off by […]
