Does anyone know of any good resources (online, books, etcetera) on JAI? Frankly the sun docs leave a lot to be desired. If anyone can recommend a good book on the topic it would be greatly appreciated.Source: Latest Adobe News by MXUnit.org Blog
#hidebr br {display:none} The guys put out Episode 5 this week after an an extended break. In this episode, they addressed the question “What processes/practices/tools do you use to help ensure software integrity?”. Brian did most of the talking, and threw around his favorite phrase several times. I can see it now… Brian’s at a cocktail party, the chicks are dancin’, and he’s all “Hey Baby! You got some mad cyclomatic complexity goin’ on!” OK, OK. All snarkiness aside, this week’s episode touched on three subjects near and dear to me: testing, ANT, and continuous integration. I was thrilled thatSource: Latest Adobe News by Dan Wilsons ColdFusion / Flex Blog
I was an early adopter of Twitter. "How early?", you ask? Early enough to get DanWilson as my Twitter handle. Trust me, that is pretty darned early. I used Twitter at first to keep up with the swarm at conferences. Many impromptu meetings, dinners, deals were organized over Twitter. When a particular conference ended, I'd turn off twitter notifications. Who needs the mobile going off every time someone posts "I'm waiting at a stop light" or "I like cashmere socks"... I'm sure you'll agree. Twitter caught on. In a big way. Pretty much all large companies have Twitter accounts andSource: InsideRIA by Yakov Fain

Metadata has the ability to give us context to the media we are dealing with. It also makes for an interesting data source. Using the Flash Platform we can combine information all ready contained in files that you are using along with web services to create an interesting user experience. This tutorial will combine id3 metadata from your mp3's to power an Flickr image search. Our final output will be an AIR application written with Flex Builder 3.Source: InsideRIA by Amy Blankenship
A few months ago, the team my husband works on was hiring a new developer, and I overheard my husband talking to a friend he was considering recommending for the position. I surprised myself by my gut reaction which was, "I don't care how good Steve thinks this guy's resume is, he's way too nice to be any good as a coder." Now, part of that reaction was probably the fact that I was working in a shop where nice people don't usually make it past the two-week trial period, but there's a part of me that can't quite get past my feeling that people who are too nice don't make good coders.Source: InsideRIA by Tom Barker
