Buzzword Screencast
Posted in Flex on May 18th, 2007
Via the Virtual Ubiquity Blog, Dan Bricklin has created a short screencast of Buzzword. Dan gives a high level overview of Buzzword.
I’m very impressed with what little i’ve seen of Buzzword. The user interface is beautiful and it’s obvious that great thought was given usability. I’ll be very excited to get my hands (keyboard?) on [...]

Posted in ColdFusion, Flex on Mar 7th, 2007
The 360 Flex conference has been terrific, I’ve been learning a ton and meeting some really nice people.

Posted in Flex, Flex Data Services on Feb 26th, 2007

Applying Flash Filters to Flex Components
Posted in Actionscript, Design, Flex, Tutorials on Jan 24th, 2007
Lately I have been spending a lot of time considering Flex application design. I work in a really small shop (two of us) and we don’t have the luxury of a Designer on staff. As a result when it comes time to make our Flex applications look muy bonito it’s yours truly who has to [...]
No ColdFusion/Flex Application Wizard Love for OS X
Posted in ColdFusion, Flex, Flex Builder, OS X on Jan 17th, 2007
Maybe I'm missing something here (I sincerely hope I am). After reading Ben's post on the new CF Demo I was all fired up to try it for myself. This is the greeting I received when I attempted to run the plug-in.
My heart sank with disappointment. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not purposely [...]
