Pre-Review: Flex 2 Developing Rich Client Applications

by kai on 27/07/2006

I'm currently working myself through the Flex 2: Developing Rich Client Applications materials. This class is basically going to be the introductory class of the certified Adobe curriculum and would usually be a 3-day class (roughly). After going through the book, the slides and the examples I just have to say that this class rocks! In terms of the materials and the structure this is def. one of…

by kai on 26/07/2006

My colleague Marty put the recording of his Breeze talk on Flashforms online. If you ever wanted to learn about this exciting stuff in CF 7, tune in here!

by kai on 14/07/2006

Eclipse is an awesome platform, I totally converted all my development to it some while ago and I even use it for writing documents in LaTeX in Eclipse.

The to-Germany leg of the journey is my rescheduled return flight from last December's flight to New Zealand (when we moved here). That said, I just needed to book a one-way flight back to NZ.

Sessions: Cookies or URLToken

by kai on 03/07/2006
