myFeedz and Flex

This cool new application is using the API exposed by myFeedz to provide a different view on the informations.

What i like about this application is that you can browse through the related tags and go on a path that can start with Flex and discover almost anything from the blogosphere. It kind of reminded me of the Finder from Mac OS X in terms of navigation technique, however I liked that application enough to compile a mc and use it.

The only thing that needs some more polishing is maybe the article list that is a bit to plain for my taste.

Flex has become more accessible

The Flex module for Apache and IIS provides web-tier compilation of MXML and ActionScript files on Apache and IIS web servers. This lets you rapidly compile and test an application by simply requesting the main application file from a web browser, similar to working server-side scripting languages like PHP, ColdFusion or JSP.

That means that writing a Flex application has become easier then ever. All you have to do now is to write your MXML and ActionScript code in any editor you want and just go into the browser and hit F5.

You can find more details and download it at Adobe Labs
