Flex for the masses? Is Flash Remoting a dead man walking?
Posted by jon at 02:34 PM

I drove out to Emeryville to see Mike Sundermeyer (VP of Product Design at Macromedia) give a talk about Flex at eBig (the East Bay IT Group). The talk was good: while I didn't learn much new about how to use Flex, but I definitely have more of a sense of where the product is going than I had before.

Plumbing ain't fun, but it pays the bills...
Posted by jon at 11:04 PM

In my last post, I whipped up a very rudimentary form UI using Flash 2004 Pro. Now I'm gonna hook up the form skeleton to some ActionScript code. A zip file containing my FLA and Actionscript file is available for download here.

Flash Forms for Smarties
Posted by jon at 07:12 PM

This post shows how to whip up a form-based application in flash. It's written for programmers, not for designers: the goal is to get the flash form layout work done as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Flash timeline considered harmful
Posted by jon at 10:24 AM

Unless you've been under a rock for the last year, you know that Macromedia has been trying to reposition flash as a tool for developing "Rich Internet Applications". A rich internet application is basically an application that runs in a browser, but has enough intelligence running on the client side so that it doesn't have to continually go back to the server to get the next screen, the way an html-based web application does.
