Flex and PHP Training Now Available

08/28/2008 05:28 pm by The Official Flex Team Blog in General

The team at PHP Architect have recently announced a new course for Flex and PHP training. The course is split into 7 units and lasts 19 hours, covering everything that a PHP developer needs to know to get up to speed with Flex, including an introduction to Flex and Flex components, and how your Flex application talks to PHP. There's also a session on Adobe AIR, and extending your PHP applications to the desktop.

Developers taking the course will get a first hand look at Flex - the actual application delivering the material was recently rewritten with Flex. As well, the August issue of PHP Architect magazine has an article about creating a chat application with Flex and PHP. Finally, there's a talk about Flex and PHP at their PHP Works conference in Atlanta, from November 12th - 14th.

Flex developer who use PHP on the server have had a lot of great news lately. Andi Gutmans blogged about Adobe supporting the Zend Framework by providing AMF support to the Zend Framework just a few weeks ago.

Another Social Software Client

08/28/2008 05:00 pm by Flex RIA United in Fun
  Exactly a month ago, I reviewed Twhirl, the social software client. Posty is another such AIR app and it is not very different. For the sake of unified microblogging across Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku, Pownce and Identi.ca accounts, it is definitely a very simple and straight-forward tool and works well. (Check this vimeo video for a demo.) [...]

After a summer hiatus Flash User Group Norway is back next monday for, as Oslash;ystein put it, "season 2". Will Chris make it out of rehab? Will BG put everything on the line?

No Flash? Sorry, that’s not the REAL Internet.

08/27/2008 06:43 pm in Flash
At least that’s what the UK’s Advertising Standards Agency says. They pulled an iPhone ad because it claimed to give you “all parts of the Internet”. But the omission of Flash and Java was enough for the agency to call BS on that claim. Read here: http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/uks-advertising-standards-authority-yanks-iphone-ad-for-being-m/ And I’m not Adobe, but yeah, I’m feeling pretty smug.

Thanks to M$ for Spreading the Flash Player

08/27/2008 06:31 pm by EverythingFlex in Flash Player
Not sure if this is new information to anyone but I stumbled across this little gem when I did a Google search for “get flash player” today. I was surprised to see that the 2nd link was a Microsoft URL (go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=6457) which nicely redirects to the Adobe Flash Player download page. [...]

Don’t we all have trouble remembering faces of some acquaintance we’ve met in the elevator, after a very long time or after a very brief duration in the recent past? Facesaerch (not Facesearch) is a “people face search engine” that comes to our rescue during such times. You can search for any name and the engine, [...]

Inspiration: Mentos Kiss Fight

08/27/2008 04:00 pm by EVOLVE in Inspiration
One of my favorite Interactive “places” is North Kingdom. They’ve had great sites/games, most recently the Get the Glass game. They’ve come up with another game to promote Mentos called Kiss Fight that has great little video cut scenes, awesome 3D characters/scenes, and pretty hilarious game play. They never cease to amaze [...]

An ActionScript Compiler Written In ActionScript

08/27/2008 03:46 pm in Flash
It’s enough to warm the cockles of one’s heart. ActionScript nerds around the globe can celebrate their graduation to “real programmer” status (whatever that means). I’d seen reference to this around the time of Tamarin announcement, but its nice to be reminded and see a link to the source. The big question is what’s going [...]
