Adogo Meeting Tomorrow!
Interesting in going to an Adogo meeting? Tomorrow night we have two great talks — Maxim Porges with his cf.objective() talk, “Flex - No Frameworks Required”, along with Steve Gongage presenting a Flex ap he’s worked on with some tips and suggestions from his experience. It should be a fun, Flex filled night. If you’re [...]
Adogo Meeting Tomorrow
Tomorrow is our monthly Adogo meeting here in Orlando. This meeting will have two great Flex topics, which seems to be drumming up a lot of attention. Simeon Bateman will be giving a talk on Using Flex with RESTful WebServices with Ruby on Rails. Daniel Roop will also be giving a talk on FlexUnit Basics [...]
Pownce and Adobe Air?
Pownce made it’s public debut tonight after quite a few months in beta and heavy speculation. Despite all the talk those of us without beta invites (or the immediate need to get one) were left wondering exactly what the deal was. Pownce is a way to keep in touch with people and share stuff with [...]
October Adogo Meeting
Our second Adogo meeting was earlier this week. If you’re interested in learning about Build Tools (Ant, Rake, Maven and Buildr) it’s worth watching the Connect recording. The task was for each build tool to assemble a Flex/ColdFusion webservice project for deployment, including building a swf and packaging everything up in a zip. I know [...]
Here at BarCampOrlando
I’m here at Taste for Bar Camp Orlando which is going great so far. There are two presentation rooms with the bar along the front of the larger room. There’s been relatively few hiccups so far, and a lot of passionate presentations up to this point. So far I’ve lucky enough to attend ones on [...]
Flex 3 Beta up on Adobe Labs
You’ll probably be hearing a lot more about this soon, but Flex 3 Beta and Adobe Integrated Runtime (Apollo) Beta are now up on Adobe Labs. Ted had been teasing people throughout the week but it was worth the lead up. I’ve barely gotten a grasp on Flex 2 so I seriously hope that [...]
Adobe to Open Source Flex
As mentioned on Daniel’s View, Adobe is set to immediately open source much of the Flex sdk under the Mozilla Public License. Read more about it in Adobe’s press release. With Adobe’s initiative to help Mozilla by open sourcing Tamarin, the Javascript compiler, and now Flex out in the free world what will come next?

Book Review for one of the few Flex books available
If you’re looking to learn Flex, you more than likely will come across this book at some point in time. With Flex 2 not even a year old, only a few books have had a chance to come out on [...]
Coldfusion as popular as Perl!
Well, that probably doesn’t say much, but in a recent poll taken over at Ajaxian.com, Coldfusion was used by a respectable 45 out of 865 respondents. Of those 45 (presumably) 10 were using AjaxCFC and another 3 use CFAjax. I’m surprised another 2% were using Flex in conjunction with Ajax (not neccesarily using CF though), [...]
Flex and Yahoo Maps integration
Why do extra work? When looking at what kind of APIs Yahoo maps offers for developers, I came across their Flex API and was absolutely stunned at how easy it might be to add them in. Unfortunately the current Flex API only supports up to Flex 1.5, which is completely different from Flex 2.0 (1.5 [...]
