During an interview the HR guy asked me 2 questions that had the rest of the folks at the table offer me the job... Q1: What 2 words best describe you? A1: I would have to go with "Springer Guest"... Wait... the judge said "Repeat Offender"
Q2: What is your greatest weakness? A2: I have a great distain for trick questions. I know you only want me to say something positive about myself because the negative thing about me is somehow a positive. But I am pretty grumbly hateful about it instead of humbly grateful.
Customize it with CSS... call it a day. Forums are just pages with styled links. Your server doesn't suffer the load... the federated login is handled by others...
So if a client has money and wants to pay you money to produce a flash application, you say "N O"?
So your client wants the following: Cross platform Pixel precise design Media assets (video/sound) Custom media controls Robust charting (Flex Charting). Give you money to do it. Accessibility for blind users.
What do you use?
My main reason for use Flash/Flex is that the runtime is consistent across platforms and I don't have to take the time to rebuild portions of my application for IE anomalies. I take the time to make my controls accessible for blind users. In my videos I even embed a Closed Caption player. I can lazy load my data when it is needed on the screen. And I can cache my RSL's to make my content smaller the next time you come back.
Until something better comes along. Long live Flash/Flex.
1. Test box 2. When you have a smaller user base of users that actually know you. Like a workgroup that might uses a web front end to a database that isn't usually public facing but for whatever business reason isn't behind a firewall. 3. When you are cheap.
Blah blah... price of everything... cost of nothing... blah blah...
The Flash Player 9 has been installed over 3.5 Billion times. Silverlight could gain 60 million a month by forcing people to use it. So the numbers at 60 million a month... it would take over 58 months for Silverlight to get to the install base of Flash Player 9.
Slow? Hardly. The Flash 9 player that is running code that was writen in ActionScript 3 (all Flex 2.0 apps are) are amazingly fast. Pre-Flash 9 movies running ActionScript 2 or lower may have had performance issues. In working with Apollo and Flex 2 I find myself having rapidly developed destop RIA's.
Best part of it is now all clients will have to hit are my data via web services... no long do they have to get the images and entire presentation layer anytime they want to use my app. Very cool stuff.
I thought the entire idea of terrorism was to garner the attention that you receive to allow others to see your ideas or distrupt the status quo enough where they would have to change. Typically this would come from a group that has no inroads to get their message across in the current system. So... Let us limit speech and further disenfranchise folks that will create more limited means of getting a groups message out and thus creating more terrorists.
Outside of the browser full screen stuff that I haven't seen in forever. Very cool stuff. Hell.com circra 1999 has some of the best shockwave stuff and the navigation made zero sence to me... But the three or four hours I spent on it were the most confusing of my life.
What do you mean truly cross-platform? The Flash Player 9 is available for Mac OS X and Windows and is being developed for Linux. What other devices/platforms do you want represented?
For me it has never been enought to know the technology... I had to have a project to work on. So the place to start is to define what you want to do.
Everything is built on top of something else. Every idea comes from someplace. And if you know what you want to do then you can investigate stuff that is at its base what it is you want to accomplish.
That covers the basics of everything. I work in Flash quite a bit and people ask me where to start learning flash. With the project learning method I send them to http://gotoandlearn.com. The tutorials on that site use some of the industry proven Actionscipt methods and give a good base level knowledge.
Uhm... it is a paying job? Other than that you are just reading slashdot and watching the simpsons. If this is so horrible, you will not like having a job. Filling out a questionaire. I could see not going through a test in which you were electricuted. But... questions. If you need help call a phone sex worker to help you fill out the form. They are good at telling fibs. That is if your mommy will let you make a big boy phone call.
If you had to have another full time job (could be IT or some other field) and could only program for Windows in your spare time, would you? Do you believe in it that much?
My web page was designed to keep people away from my web page... That is why I went CLI (Requires Newest Flash Player) for my Command Line Flash web page at: CLF
The only person this system benefits is the insurance company that doesn't want to pay you because your sensors told you that the roads were unsafe and that you were driving 4 miles over the speed limit and this is why they can not pay you. I am sure there is a "black box" that will rat you out to the insurance company. Worse yet, an accident isn't even your fault but they have it on record that you often exceed the national limit and the driver of the vehicle has a good enough lawyer to get him and his insurance company not to pass you even a dime.

I really do appreciate a good framework... My favorite one currently is Vanilla-js http://vanilla-js.com/
Check it out. Amazing performance.

I will keep Flex/Flash/Air for now thanks.

That is one alternative fuel I am goona steer clear of....
Adobe Apollo is your answer in the flash universe. Stay tuned... until then...

What do you define as "truly cross-platform"?
I would be interested to know.

Btw, do you really know, what a User Agent string is?
It is the thing that makes the bean counters know that 99.99999 % of users are using IE.
For me it has never been enought to know the technology... I had to have a project to work on. So the place to start is to define what you want to do.

Can it happen? I am sure it already does.
