Today, I joined the Flex User Group Hamburg. Athough I live roughly 100km away, I hope to meet some nice people in Hamburg soon.
In case you’d like to attend a meeting, just subscribe this RSS feed of Flex User Group Hamburg or join the Yahoo mailinglist.
Just a short note, that Parleys just published a new video Enterprise RIA with Flex and Java.
As a Flex coder, you might give this AIR-based viewer a try and explore Parleys right from your desktop. Visit this page to learn more about Parleys Flex/AIR offerings.
Much like Java, Flex compiles code into a bytecode representation for the Flash virtual machine (Flash VM). While opening VM code using a text editor, certain tools are able to retrieve significant portions of information for compiles Flex app. Much like obfuscators for JAVA, obfuscators for Flex/AS try to hide as much as possible in compiled code.
UML – Design by picture
Most professional software designer use or at least know UML, the unified modelling language. By means of a formal visual language, software designer describe software systems. Having it roots around 1994 at Rational Software Corporation, UML finally became 2005 an ISO/IEC standard. Today, UML 2.x is able to describe functional, structural and dynamic system properties.
Just a short note, that you might wish to attend the Adobe onAIR Tour Europe, 04.06.2008 in Berlin.
This event focusses on developing with AIR. Speakers like Mike Chambers give insight into various aspects of AIR. E.g., at 11:30 Kevin Hoyt gives a hands-on talk on how to create a first application using AIR-SDK.
Let’s mention this german talk: Benjamin Dobler speaks about his RIA solution for parleys.com, a JAVA e-learning platform. His solution comes in two fashions, Flex and AIR. Benjamin enabled the Flex browser part and the AIR ‘client’ part to talk to each other. Thus, the Flex part adopts its UI and forwards certain data to the AIR part to be processed later on.
Let’s meet in Berlin!
Just a short note, that I’m going to implement a Flex interface for http://www.iTodo.de/ shortly.
Right now, iTodo is made of PHP, MySQL and the very nice xAjax library, which makes PHP-functions available through client-side JavaScript code.
While the web-interface is OK, I’d like to know, if more people are going to register with iTodo, if I provide an AIR solution.
These areas are widgets and can be controlled through the admin page.
