Here is a nice posting with code examples on how to do some asyncronous tests with FlexUnit and PureMVC. How would the same posting look like if changing from FlexUnit to Fluint? Or how would the same samples look like if you switched from TDD to BDD? Something TODO for me, or someone else who [...]
A very nice blogpost about how to configure FlexUnit and Ant with Hudson on a Linux machine has been posted here: http://www.blackpepper.co.uk/black-pepper-blog/Flex-unit-testing-and-continuous-integration-Part-2-of-2.html. The author of the article is using Peter Martin´s FlexAntTask. My case was slightly different, because I would like to run Hudson in a Windows (Vista) environment. In an earlier post I wrote [...]
How would you do if you want to add an image to the background of a piechart field? One smart way is to use the Degrafa framework. By using the BitmapFill class you can easy add any images to the PieSeries fill property. I have created a small sample demonstrating this, and the use of [...]
The MyHome flex project, which I and the RIA team at HelloGroup have been working on for quite a long time now has been nominated as a finalist at Adobe Max in Milan. Vote for it: http://max.adobe.com/eu/experience/#?s=5&p=3 Updated 2008-12-03: ….and yes! We could actually pick up the statuette in Milan: we won the envision category!!!! [...]
The new Flex sdk 3.2 also contains some ant improvements, where the best thing perhaps is the support for incremental compilation for the compc. But still not that major update that I was hoping for. All the issues that has been fixed can be seen here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?pager/start=0.
Hudson is a free java-based continous integration server with a very vibrant community of developers and users. And it is actually quit easy to install. This is a short description of the steps involved to build the Flex-mojo´s HelloWorld sample on a windows machine. You can find more descriptions on how to configure maven and [...]
At my previous work I became quite addicted to many of the great features in the python-based Trac – an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. I miss the convenient wikki, the browse source, and especially the timeline feature. Of course it is possible to use the command line, like: svn [...]
I am very fond of news. One question might be what software to use when reading feeds. But an even better question to ask is maybe how many configurable environments do I actively want to split my feed-reading into. Just like spending some time sorting bookmarks or bills, some time needs to be spent on [...]
As I am fascinated by what mathematics poetically can do to words I immidiately fell in love with this little gorgeous app: http://wordle.net/. When taking my own blog (only the first page) as the input, it produces this piece of art:
Interaction is pleasure. But rarely in our daily lifes. I can get really excited and at the same time upset about the world (Wide Web) of opportunities, and – at the same time – the depressing desktop application GUI´s. An experience discovered when creating this one, makes me smile again: idx-experiment …triggers me in the [...]
