The new Flex Builder 3 features include:
A very comprehensive article was written by Matt Chotin
Adobe is doing a huge step by making Flex SDK open source. The MPL license will allow organizations and commercial enterprises to modify Flex and create more (or less) powerful tools.
In my opinion this is a move that will shape the web for the years to come.
Flex has two friends…
That was one crazy idea, to create a person for Flex on myspace. When I am writing this Flex has only two friends but I hope it will get more. I’m not a myspace person so I can not become Flex’s friend but I totally dig this.
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.
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
Just this morning I have realized that most of us programmers have our own religion. A very simple one however some of us tend to be quite fanatic about it.
AC/BC – After coffee/Before coffee
So, don’t talk with me BC.
A very cool Flex application has appeared on the web.
This application allows you to track the progress of bikers on different stages of the contest and to see pictures along the track. If you are passionate about this you can also see a lot of statistics.
And everything is over imposed on a Yahoo map.
I really enjoyed looking at the pictures (I’m not into cycling) along the track.
Yes, I do. However this is not the subject of the post. I found out a very nice cartoon about regular expressions. A geek joke..

JSEclipse has make it on Adobe labs. After InterAKT was acquired by Adobe, JSEclipse was one of the products that caught their attention and after a long period of review it landed on the Labs.
JSEclipse is a new plugin for the Eclipse environment that helps developers code JavaScript faster and with no errors. With JSEclipse, you can complete a variety of tasks, from editing small sections of code to working with the next big AJAX library or developing plug-ins for a product that embeds JavaScript snippets.
Las Vegas – get us your money
We arrived here in Las Vegas Friday and for somebody that have never been here it is breathtaking. At first. After you stay a day you can just see that is as a friend of mine putted, “The Plastic City”, a giant money making machine. Of course that unless you are a gambling freak you will have some fun for that money.
However the Venetian Hotel we are staying here is a very impressive one, lavish decorations and great rooms.
MAX
Today was the registration process and the exhibit section was open. I’ve get the chance to see old friends from previous conferences and reconnect with them.
As the day 0 this is quite a slow one, no sessions today, just a welcome reception at the Venetian Pool later this evening.
