The Connected Desktop: April 2009
http://graemeharker.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Will Flex be the engine of economic recovery? I'm looking forward to next week's SeedCamp. A regular London-based forum where some of the UK's most promising web technology start-ups are invited to demonstrate their ideas to venture capitalists. I'll be with CityOdds. A innovative Flex-based financial services betting website. What's interesting is that CityOdds is not the only company with a Flex-based product in the top 20. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Obviously there are problems...

Looking at the world of media: from music to RIA. Adobe MAX Europe 2008 Recap. December 7th, 2008 Posted in General Media / Stuff. We then headed back for our 2:45 session which went over well, but as usual we had a bit of push back from a few designers (I still owe you all a full post on our session, more on this to come I promise! And many many other Adobe employees (and fellow hangers-on) for the classic after sessions hotel bar drink-a-thon. We had some killer conversations and Enrique Duvos. I will ...

The Connected Desktop: December 2008
http://graemeharker.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 20, 2008. Should the financial services industry be using Flex? Today internal systems in banks are typically built using rich native desktop technologies such as Java Swing or Windows Forms.NET. On the other side of the fence software built for external use by the banks' customers is typically built using traditional web technologies such as JSP/Struts/Spring MVC or ASP.NET. Clearly RIA technologies, such as the Adobe Flash Platform. Instead the visionaries in the financial services i...

The Connected Desktop: Don't buy Flash Builder - it's now included in CS5!
http://graemeharker.blogspot.com/2010/04/dont-buy-flash-builder-its-now-included.html
Monday, April 12, 2010. Don't buy Flash Builder - it's now included in CS5! Flex Builder has always felt a bit like like Adobe's "ugly duckling" product. I'm used to licensing Flex Builder and Creative Suite separately. Yesterday I tried to buy Flash Builder 4 but failed only 'cos Adobe's UK on-line store was down for maintenance. Wow that was lucky! Today I discover that Flash Builder 4's bundled in CS5 Web Premium now. So I can upgrade my Creative Suite license and I get Flash Builder for free! After g...

The Connected Desktop: Is Catalyst CS5 ready for prime time?
http://graemeharker.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-catalyst-cs5-ready-for-prime-time.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. Is Catalyst CS5 ready for prime time? We're still using the traditional tools and workflow to create static and dynamic wireframe mockups for customer projects (i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash Pro). Since Catalyst CS5 would appear to offer significant productivity improvements over the traditional workflow, I've been spending some time checking out whether it's ready for prime time. These are some of the issues I found:-. It would be better if the generated instance names o...

The Connected Desktop: February 2010

Thursday, February 18, 2010. Can FlexUnit4 test Parsley applications? One of the challenges you face when adopting a dependency injection framework for Flex development is how to test classes that use features of the DI framework. For example when you use the Parsley framework a Command class is typically implemented as follows:-. And you'd probably run it in the normal way as follows:-. But unfortunately at the time of writing there's no such Parsley test runner. Time to give up? The good news is that P...

The Connected Desktop: Configuring a default application-wide channel set in Spring BlazeDS
http://graemeharker.blogspot.com/2010/04/configuring-default-application-wide.html
Sunday, April 04, 2010. Configuring a default application-wide channel set in Spring BlazeDS. The Spring BlazeDS Integration project. Provides a very elegant framework for Flex-Java development. However the project documentation. Unfortunately neither the Spring BlazeDS Integration documentation (as of 1.0.3) nor Adobe's LCDS documentation (as of 3.0) provides an example of how to define an application-wide default channel set in services-config.xml. And also allows a simpler Spring config as follows:-.
