POP with Flex Viewer
I’ve seen stores for Halloween stuffs poping up already. It’s not a surprise the web will be haunted too. The Paranormal Operating Picture (POP) is a good use of the Flex Viewer for Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation.
You might want to spend a bit of time to play with it. I’m sure you will [...]
Redefining Reading With Flex
Some carry the notion that the habit of reading, especially of books, has dwindled over the last decade. If the number of words or the kilobytes of text read by us online is tracked – text in email and IM, RSS feeds, occasional interesting links, online news, e-books and e-zines – it would far exceed [...]
Rounding Up Last Two Weeks
FlexPMD is a neat open source software to detect bad code in your source code, and it is extensible so you can define your own rules for detecting the bad code. (via)
Rob Christensen brings the news about the relaunch of Adobe TV. I agree about the “vastly improved navigation & search” and the new look [...]
Flex RIA Alternatives

SproutCore (http://www.sproutcore.com)

Call on a MD for your Flex Code - FlexPMD
Java developers should have known their PMD tool for awhile. Finlay, Flex developers can enjoy the same counterpart, FlexPMD.
FlexPMD is a tool that helps to improve code quality by auditing any AS3/Flex source directory and detecting common bad practices, such as:
Unused code (functions, variables, constants, etc.)
Inefficient code (misuse of dynamic filters, heavy constructors, etc.)
Over-complex [...]
Rounding Up Last Week
Bhuvan, India’s Google Earth Killer, for the time being sucks. For now they have the excuses of the terrorist scare and the implications on national security of open access to hi-res geospatial data.
While Silverlight scored another win in the sports industry which I won’t report, the Adobe AIR is excited about MLB.com’s OnBase, the AIR [...]
Rounding Up the MAX Widget Week
The entire blogosphere is abuzz with the Adobe MAX widget that Serge Jespers made. I am not able to embed it in this post.
Be sure to update your Flex apps to use the 3.4 SDK. It contains a fix to a critical security bug that could cause [...]
Rounding Up Week Of the 2009 Hype Cycle
The Gartner Hype Cycle 2009 report was released last week. Cloud computing and E-book readers share the global maxima, and social software suites and microblogging are apparently just past their crest. Ryan Stewart highlighted Adobe’s prominence.
Ryan Stewart is also awestruck by interface designer Theresa Neil and highly recommends some of her material on RIAs.
