Share It seems lately that the cool thing to do on teh internets is proclaim the death of Flash and the rise of HTML 5 like a phoenix from Adobe’s plugin’s ashes. Before I buy into the hype, I want someone to answer these questions for me. Where are all of the bad ass sites [...]
Dear Flex 4 / Flash Builder, I just wanted to tell you that I think you’re amazing. I know we just recently met, but I can’t stop thinking about you. You’re not like the others (Flex 2 and Flex 3). There’s something different about you. Your component model is brilliant. Your implementation of declarative drawing [...]
I just downloaded and implemented Squiggly, Adobe’s new(ish) spell checking library, in one of my apps and it couldn’t have been any easier to implement. Be sure to check it out at http://ping.fm/7QDcN document.getElementById(“post-515-blankimage”).onload();
Just saw this over at Ted Patrick’s blog. Looks like Adobe is going to work with Google and Yahoo to allow spiders to crawl Flash SWF content. This is big time if indeed true. A big client objection to full Flash sites is going out the window. I assume the spiders are looking strictly at [...]
My suspicions concerning Apollo were confirmed tonight, much sooner than I thought, with the release of Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), formerly Apollo and Flex 3 Moxie beta. Get the scoop over at onflex.org and head over to Adobe Labs to download both. If Moxie is as half as good as Ted Patrick made it [...]
In the final installment of his weeklong series on Flex 3 “Moxie”, Ted Patrick wrote about the Apollo specific additions to the upcoming Flex update. Interestingly, many parts of the screen shots he included in the post have file names blurred out. Could it be that Adobe will be unveiling Apollo’s real name when they [...]
Lost in the shuffle of Microsoft’s acquisition of aQuantive, is Avenue A | Razorfish. As the largest interactive agency in the world, Razorfish carries an immense amount of clout in the industry. Does anyone think for a second that the $6 billion purchase price didn’t include Razorfish’s army of developers converting to Silverlight for development [...]
Before I question his sanity, I will disclose that I mostly agree with everything Michael Arrington says and writes. He knows his stuff…usually. Michael recently wrote a post in which he made what I think are outrageous assertions concerning Microsoft’s Silverlight and Adobe’s Flash and Flex. The following quote from the post particularly shocked me: [...]
According to this story, Microsoft is preparing to open source parts of their recently announced Silverlight framework. Why do I get the feeling that Microsoft has a team of people sitting around waiting for Adobe to do anything noteworthy so that they can immediately start working on copying it? document.getElementById(“post-123-blankimage”).onload();
Adobe has finally given us developers something to work with. The alpha version of Apollo was released tonight on Labs. Download and rejoice. And love the fact that they’re still not giving us file access. document.getElementById(“post-113-blankimage”).onload();
