AIR on PBS, “An AIR of Invisibility” by Cringley

The best quote, “My money is on Adobe simply because of those two invisible weapons, PDF and Flash.”. The comments are heavy on flaming Adobe/Flash and pumping Microsoft. Read the full article here.

Official Now - Flash/Flex Developer for Adobe

I have made the official switch to Adobe land. I have the red badge now. I have been working as a contractor on a cool project in Adobe developing AS3/Flex classes and components for the past 2+ months.

It is real fun and things are moving fast both job and personal wise, it will be hectic couple of months. I think as things settle down more I’ll have more perspective of what it really means to be an Adobe employee. But for now I am enjoying the team I am working with and trying to stay up with all the work.

Flexing PHP in php|architect, by Jeof Oyster

Its cool to see the Flex developer base grow more and more everyday. I came across a Flex and PHP article in the lastest php|architect magazine. The article is titled “Flexing PHP” and is by Jeof Oyster. If you read Jeof Oyster’s bio, he is a product manager for a financial services company and freelancer by night. This is a cool sign of the breadth of Flex developers and the rise in outside Adobe/Macromedia circles expose Flex is getting.

The article is a good overview of the Flex builder and SDK and now to create a Flex application along with accessing data through HTTPService and PHP. Check it out at http://www.phparch.com (June 2007 issue).
