This week we were excited to announce the release of Sencha Animator.
Sencha Animator is a desktop application for Mac, Windows, and Linux that allows you to create CSS3 Animations for WebKit browsers with ease.
Be sure to check out the demos to see what has already been created with Sencha Animator, such as this amazing KickFu iPhone game, or the Museum of Science interactive ad.
You can try it out free for 30-days, so give it a go! Download Sencha Animator and see how easy it is to create something amazing today.
This was a great release last week, and I had a lot of fun talking about it at Adobe Max.
