Other than the dimensions of the magazine, it has a totally separate life of it's own under the direction of Jeffry Houser (editor in chief). However because of that FAQU relationship I have very high expectations as FAQU has been able to deliver a consistently high quality periodical.

Focusing on AIR this round was probably a good move, as AIR is still relatively new. A lot of Flex folks out there are aware of AIR, but haven't really gotten into it, so this issue gives you a deeper background as to what it takes to make that leap and how you can start leveraging this technology.

However the reality is not all Flex developers want to get into AIR, so the issue equally covers non AIR related subjects including practical subjects such as Yahoo Maps integration, and the MATE Flex framework (which has been getting a lot of buzz).

As for the content itself - totally high quality, and well written (difficult to do when you're relying on external writers). I like the structure and layout (love the use of color and the font set used), easy to read, and lots of editing to ensure consistency towards the overall theme of the magazine. My only constructive feedback is on the Flick and Flack concept, which is an interesting idea but mentally I found the flow a bit challenging to track.

So ya, bottom line - time is money, your bosses want results out of you, and you can give yourself a boost by staying on top of things through this magazine. The week or so it would take to ramp yourself up on any of these topics, or trying to read up on it through searching blog postings and what not... save yourself some time and get this magazine.

Now, you can use that to your advantage by masking what may be a writing weakness, but the only purpose of a resume is to get your foot in the door and get the interview. When Ford advertises their Focus, it may not be their strongest car, but I guarantee you they spend millions to advertise to the best of their ability to generate enough interest to get you to walk into a showroom and check it out. And by the way, they only have 30-60 seconds of your interest in order to do that.

Writing not your strength?

Not everyone is strong at writing, it's actually a rare skill amongst technical folk, and that's ok. But if you want to set yourself apart (or even be on par), you need to have it proof read by a friend who is good at it. It's worth it to pay someone to format it nicely for you, and if that's not even an option go on CraigsList and find some nicely polished resumes and copy their template.

The older the experience, the less relevant it is.

There's this fallacy in the tech community that the more you write the better. Nothing is further from the truth; a hiring manager does not care what you did 5 years ago. To prove it, try this experiment: when you're interviewing make note of how often prior to 5yrs your previous gigs are brought up. The older the experience, the less relevant it is. A hiring manager is evaluating what you're currently capable of doing, not what you were doing as the junior version of yourself back in the day.

Back in the day if you were a Help Desk support guy, and now you're a Sr Network Architect, unless you want to go back into Help Desk why would you burn valuable resume space on highlighting this experience? All you need to do at this point is just mention you worked there, save the space for focusing on your current and more relevant experiences.

Stick to 2 Pages – SERIOUSLY!

Continued from the above, just like the Ford advertisement, you have the reader's attention for 30-60 seconds. The first page is critical, and the second page is a little less critical, and anything beyond that is irrelevant. There's only so much information someone can absorb, so if you spread important details across many pages, it'll get diluted and lost.

In fact if you have a ton of experience and you're able to effectively summarize it in 2 pages (or even 1), that's viewed as EXTREMELY impressive. It takes quite a bit of writing skill to accomplish that; ask a VP or higher in your current organization what types of reports they like, or what kind of emails they prefer – it'll always be something along the lines of short and concise. Managers want information summarized accurately in a quickly absorb-able format, they do not care to read exhaustive amounts of detail unless asked for.

Some tips:

• Look at every word, and consider chopping it out to see if the sentence still reads effectively. E.g. "managed and lead a team..." – just say "lead a team". The extra verbosity doesn't help.
  
• Nuke verbosity on older experience, they're irrelevant now.
  
• Although it's not reducing content, if you need to go ahead and increase margins or reduce the font size to make the content fit to 2 pages. This is a fine art though and only to be used when you need just a wee bit more space.
  

Format it nicely – PLEASE!

It's about readability, and like an ad it's about aesthetics.

• Go easy on the bold and use changes in font sizes and weight to separate out sections (Experience, Skills, and Education) and subsections (e.g. each position within the Experience section).
  
• Align things so that they start at the same column positions.
  

Attention to Detail.

The lack of it will guarantee your resume a position in the garbage bin; even messing up on a single punctuation mark can severely impact your resume. Why? Because an interviewer doesn't have much to go on, and to bring on an employee and ramp them up comes at a great expense. So a resume is the first opportunity to evaluate your work; so if you're not willing to be diligent enough to make your resume bullet proof it can be interpreted as an indicator of what your attention to detail may be like on the job.
Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter, that's the reality of the game, and if you're smart you can use that to your advantage. Now an interviewer isn't going to base their decision whether to hire you based off a resume, they'll use the interviewing process to fully size you up. So the resume is really that vehicle to get you that interview.

It's like playing poker, and when it comes to attention to detail a resume gives away your "tells".

Tips:

• Be consistent with how you write things. Don't write "UNIX" and then later write "Unix", pick one and stick to it.
  
• Get your acronyms and product names right. E.g. verify if Adobe spells it as "Coldfusion", "ColdFusion", or "Cold Fusion".
  
• Spelling, typos, and grammar mistakes = suicide.
  

Focus on accomplishments – Not duties.

We all know that developers gather business requirements, design solutions, architect stuff, test things, deploy applications, support users, troubleshoot problems, etc... It makes zero sense in burning up resume space by cataloging all the duties that are common (and obvious) to the job role.
There's this fear that if you don't spell it out that the reader will assume you haven't performed that duty, or worked with that specific version of software, etc... Choose what you divulge wisely; if you're a web developer it's irrelevant to list out every desktop variant of Windows (98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, etc...); however if you're a Desktop Helpdesk support person, then that is relevant.

A hiring manager is interested in knowing what sets you apart from the others - what is your value add? This is why you want to focus on accomplishments – as a result of your duties, what did you get done and what were the results? At that position how are/were you better than your coworkers (awards, rank, recognition, promotions, etc...), mention how you got projects done on time (or ahead of time, and by how much), projects completed under budget (and by how much).

Remember, a hiring manager (even a technical manager) is driven by the needs of the business, so frame your accomplishments in how it helped the company. Strategic value, productivity increases, cost savings, revenue increase, profitability, competitive advantage, etc...
You want the reader to feel jealous that you're providing all this amazing BUSINESS value to your current company, when it could be they who are reaping those rewards (if they hire you that is).

Don't use internal product names.

Nobody will know what you mean if you reference internal products or tools; e.g. "Created the foundation of the HappyPO System." Instead describe what the system is.

Final words.

Every word you write has to add value – otherwise it takes away value. So when reading your resume, scrutinize every word and evaluate that if you were to chop out the word – does it impact it? If not, leave it out.

That's on top of a $300K salary and $65K sign on bonus as Exec manager of reputation management.

Good grief..

No one is surprised when they go to the California DMV to see employees using ASCII/ANSI/DOS/VT100 terminal screens; it's the gov't right? Those guys are old school!

But I was quite surprised to see how DOS screens are still incredibly prolific in this day and age. United Airlines, Hertz car rental, the Canadian passport office, Future Shop, etc... all using text only screens. Even back at home prior to the trip I noticed Lexus and BMW dealerships are also using text screens for their service departments.

There's a laundry list of limitations with such a UI, so their longevity is amazing. So the question is why? One reason could be if it's not broken, why fix it? Doing total s/w rewrites is enormously expensive, time consuming, and risky - which thus makes it even more difficult to actualize any ROI. There's also opportunity cost: what else could you have done with that money to improve profits?

A second reason could be that from a data entry perspective it's incredibly fast (at the cost of user friendliness). The limitations actually force the developers to streamline the process to the max. And because of that, have we traded in this speed for the sake of cool looking super advanced UIs that are supposedly more user friendly?

Although emotionally users like the coolness factor which does yield a qualitative value, it's the bottom line productivity of the user is that will benefit the business the most. So when designing a new UI it may be an interesting exercise to at least consider how it would compare against a text only screen from a raw process/efficiency perspective as you try to strike a balance (that you define) that's best for your business between friendliness and raw speed.

It's pretty cool, they're really selective in what they review, and target non-hardcore techies who want to know about cool tech stuff too but in a context that is digestible by the non-hardcore crowd.

I'm curious to see what the community thinks - I have a simple 1 question survey posted.

Thanks.

So I'm looking for recommendations, if anyone has any. This would be my requirements:

• Alerting (of job failures).
  
• Fort Knox bullet proof stability.
  
• Web interface for configuration.
  
• Cost: $0 - $2000

One of which is the Flash and Flex Developers Magazine (aka FFDM). They're currently in ramp up mode and looking for authors, and looks like they have a pilot issue available.

Check it out at http://www.ffdmag.com/

Apparently the demos kept crashing when demo'd by Sr. VP Rich Green; being caught with his pants down he fumbled trying to recover from a brain-freeze. Which I feel empathy for - when doing a live demo that is everyone's worst fear. Obviously they took a calculated risk in trying to demo something that wasn't ready, the technology is still not mature enough and has a long way to go, but I think they had an internal mandate to make it the showcase event of JavaOne (much like Thermo was the highlight of MAX 07).

I also love how the media interprets things - they really should have a panel of nerds on standby that can double check statements for accuracy. One article I read was saying Java is already on lots of "internet servers", therefore applications can be created without complex programming. I'm not quite sure how those two statements relate to each other? :) Some articles mention that because of millions of servers using Java, and that apparently gives JavaFX a head start somehow.

The Tariq take is this: the biggest advantage for JavaFX is that if you are a Java developer you get to leverage your existing skill-set, vs. having to learn something new.

The drawback of JavaFX is that it's so late to show that SUN will have to do an enormous amount of work to get caught up. The other weakness of JavaFX is that it's ecosystem is generally limited to the development aspect. I know they talked about bringing it to the creative side as well, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Where as with Flex/AIR there's a seamless transition from the creative side, to the development side, to the deployment and hosting side. Adobe has the entire end to end suite. E.g on the design side they dominate with tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks. Client technologies they have the AIR Runtime, Flash, and Acrobat. Then all the way to the server side they have JRUN, Coldfusion, Acrobat Connect, and BlazeDS/Live Cycle Data Services.

Silverlight is somewhere in between and has been moving blazingly fast; they have massive amounts of capital to throw at getting caught up.

I like competition, I believe it results in superior products at a reasonable price to the consumer. But I think from a marketing perspective, Sun needs to keep expectations low - Adobe and MSFT are just too far ahead and have distinct advantages that Sun can't compete on.

Once you get a tarnished reputation, it's extremely difficult to undo that. Better would be for Sun to keep a low profile, grow the technology and build a groundswell of support and let the technology earn a solid reputation - vs. trying to use a laundry list campaign and going about it in a desperate kind of way, otherwise you're just a me-too product.

There is an army of Java developers out there who'll probably give JavaFX a try; so the strategy should focus on what Sun's distinct advantage is - the massive size of the Java community.

She won't even take liquid foods like yogurt or juice - all she wants is water. She was 28lbs on the actual day of her bday, but she's regressed to 26lbs because of this infection... those were two hard earned pounds! :(

Hopefully the worst is over with the antibiotics and all.

I regret that decision ever since. I have a presta valve on the front tire, and schrader in the back, and it takes me about an hour to pump them up every year when I prep my bike for the season. It's so complicated it's ridiculous, and the problem stems from the back that it never locks on - so you're never sure if it's actually configured right or not.

I thought maybe mine was broken, but I did some searching and found that I'm not the only one experiencing issues.

Save yourself a headache and never buy a Schwinn pump.

"The local rendering of complex business screens requires serious client CPU time... A European retailer that wanted to migrate screens from a Visual Basic rich client to AJAX reported initial load times for complex screens of many seconds. Given the nearly instantaneous display of the old client app, this was annoying for power users."

ComputerWorld has an in-depth article on the report.

If you're like me, you're always low on memory! XP is weird in that by default any additional memory over 2GB gets allocated for the OS - gee thanks... There's a boot option switch that you can add to your c:\boot.ini file (i.e. "/3GB") that allocates an extra gig towards application.

When I first tried this, it caused my system to be completely unstable (on a Dell Precision anyways). I found out the trick is to also add another switch called "/PAE".

So... try this for a c:\boot.ini:



[boot loader]

timeout=15

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /3GB /PAE

What's a MEAP?!

It's the Manning Early Access Program which allows people to access books that are in the process of being developed, which is a cool program in that it allows you to see how a book evolves from rough drafts all the way to the final polished product.

Get the content now.

Of course, the primary advantage is that you get access to the content as it's available so that you don't have to wait till it becomes published. And if it's content you want, then content you shall have - there's now 19 chapters available!

Help shape the book.

One of the reasons that Manning books have such a strong reputation is the result of community involvement. Those who take part in MEAP can then go into the forum and post questions, suggestions, and feedback. And we take all that stuff very seriously.

We had some early anonymous reviewers provide some feedback and we're incorporating all of their suggestions as well as things that needed more clarification and improvement.

From our perspective, this is a book to help ramp up new users to Flex as fast as possible - become effective fast is the mission statement. It's another way we're helping grow the Flex community, so fine tuning this to what people want out of a book is what we want to do!

Where to go for more.

To find out more about this early access program visit: http://www.manning.com/ahmed/. We also have a dedicated site for the book at FlexInAction.com.

We look forward to your feedback, and providing a quality product.

Thanks!

Rails is an application framework, made popular by the whole Ruby on Rails movement - and like most frameworks it aims to improve the speed of maintenance and overall development, reduce duplicated effort, enforce standards, do most of the plumbing and grunt work for you, etc...

Flexible Rails shows you how to tap into all of that goodness. :)

Enjoy!

I have to say this magazine/tech journal is EXTREMELY impressive. I like how each issue has a theme; and I like how it's not always just about coding. There was one issue that was more on the business of software development; I'm so glad that they did that as that's one of the biggest challenges I see with developers is that they tend to view things from just a tech perspective (doing things just because they can, or because it's cool, or code purity utopia) - but the reality is any project is business driven, so you have to factor in the business goals that the project is supporting.

Sorry, I digress... FAQU writes about stuff that gets you excited! At the same time I keep learning new stuff with every issue. Usually I blast through tech magazines and skim over the content as there's not that much info to really leverage or that you don't already know. But FAQU, and kudos to the authors, keep writing about stuff that pushes my knowledge to new levels. Whether it's new techniques, ideas, tidbits, and approaches.

Aside from the content, the editing, presentation, and layout is outstanding. Great use of color, super thick quality paper, high resolution print, all that good stuff.

Check it oot...(as us Canadians would say).... Fusion Authority Quarterly Update

For disclaimer purposes Friends of Ed did send me copies of all their recent Flex 3 books for review. I don't know Marco personally, but I know of him through my involvements in the Flex Community.

First I have to give props to Marco Casario; for books of this size it usually takes 4-5 authors to pull it off in a reasonable amount of time. I remember reading on his blog when he first started writing it, and a short time later writing how it's in print... I was *SHOCKED* at how fast he did it!

Let me rephrase that - I'm still shocked! That is an amazing accomplishment.

If you've read my other tech book reviews, I view books from the angle of 3 dimensions: range of complexity (let's call that depth), detail, and breadth (number of topics).

You can't go buckwild and be high on all three otherwise you end up with a 3000 page book (seriously). This is because not only can you go into a lot of detail on each feature of Flex, but there's also things related to Flex that you can write entire books on if you wanted to (AIR, LCDS, the frameworks, GraniteDS, CS3 integration, Thermo, Coldfusion, testing frameworks, etc...)

Likewise, different demographics have different needs. E.g. a newbie wants to know how to make a form and list stuff, where as an expert wants to know how can he get away with linking in the least amount of the Flex framework for as small memory footprint as possible. Or a newbie doesn't care that the basic visual building block is based on the Sprite class, so you only stress out a newbie with all that extra detail that they think they need to know it, when they don't.

Anyways, the unique angle that this book takes is it goes over all the usual stuff in Flex land (validators, formatters, controls, data services, etc...) - and then Marco shows you the known techniques that experts might do/use/or know about.

So it's kind of a "this is a quick recap of what you probably already know - and this is what you need to know next" pattern.

I wouldn't recommend it for new users - the complexity range is intermediate to advanced intermediate. It's moderate on detail, and prefers to dedicate more space on the variety of topics as it assumes you already know all the basics.

I agree with the other reviews, it's on the reference book side of things; so when you're working on a project and say you're working on putting in some validation... that's when you'd whip open this book to go "is there a better way of doing this compared to what I'm already doing?"

Can't believe I fell for it - and then it start spamming people to spread itself.

Very embarrassing!

Since they don't report earnings of Americans to the IRS, a lot of Americans are buying up property there - and many are retiring permanently. Low crime, low inflation, and you can get near beach front property for $180K (and beach front for $300K+ which is amazing).

Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and many other tech and bio-tech companies have also set up shop there due to the younger generation speaking fluent English there and being quite tech savvy.

It's actually quite easy to invest there, since so many Americans are down there... they know how to facilitate it. In fact most of the Condo management companies are managed by Americans who relocated there.

BUT... be prepared to be patient if you invest. The culture there is very laid back and relaxed - there's no sense of timing or urgency. They have no concept of deadlines, so everything is just guestimate dates. From when furniture is available for delivery to when you close escrow. This can impact you if you have to plan a trip down there to set up your rental property, and they still haven't closed on the loan.

Though you don't to be around for most of it; your level of participation is up to you. You can do it totally remotely where you have a lawyer with power of attorney that does whatever you want. As well as many of the Condo's providing a full service capability (property management, house keeping/maid service, to including and servicing furniture/appliances). Totally hands off (check out DayStar Properties).

If you want to scope out the situation, it's well worth your time to take a vacation trip (Costa Rica is amazing place to visit) and scope out the investment situation. We're focusing on the beach town of Costa Rica - lots of hotels being built up, it's in the early stages of growth which is when you want to buy (buy low, sell high right?). If you hit up Jaco, contact Brian from CR Beach Investment Real Estate, he'll show you around and give you the full low down (he's an American that relocated down there as an Investment Real Estate Agent) - he's really good!

It's pretty high level, yet they share some good practical advice.

Description:

To access and manage your files (they have a focus on photos, video, and music) you use their Flex based file management system is called BlueString. It's a different model compared to Mozy or Carbonite, which are aimed at online backups, where as XDrive is all about centralizing storage and retrieval of your stuff so that you can easily access it anywhere.

Other features of BlueString allow you to make media mixes (i.e. mashups) so that you can create slide shows and presentations for your friends to watch (similar to what MixerCast does).

This new UI will be made available in February (currently they're wrapping up the beta), and there'll apparently be both online Flex and desktop AIR clients.

Visit www.XDrive.com for more information.

I don't get the comment wars that go on as a result of this - the disc capacity and quality is irrelevant. I mean come on, a chain is as strong as it's weakest link. So unless you have a kick ass player, kick ass TV, light absorbing paint on your walls, non-reflective surfaces in your home theater room, etc... would you even be able to detect a SLIGHT HINT in difference. Even then, I doubt you would be able to tell.

Back when I was into custom car audio, I'd see people arguing specs on speakers, head units, etc... But that all makes no difference, the fact that your engine is running (and generating noise and vibration) eliminates any puristic audio capabilities.

The big thing to keep in mind is that because Blu-Ray is a Sony thing, it means the format is proprietary. No one is going to be able to compete on the media because Sony will always need to get their licensing cut. It's just like Sony nonsense... MiniDisc, Beta, Memory Sticks, etc... I'm totally against anything proprietary.

How well known is it? I have no idea, I would love to visit .NET and Java user groups to do some informal polls. I'm sure people have heard of it, but this whole space is still relatively new. I know plenty of .NET guys that never heard of Silverlight, and likewise Java folks who never heard of JavaFX.

But the news is spreading daily - and today's news is by WhatPC?, a UK based PC buyers guide magazine, who does a review on Flex Builder 3 as well as touching upon AIR. Surprisingly they get actually get into some code by making it relateable to VB programmers.

The iPhone sets the bar crazy high when it comes to usability, total innovation. Plus I love how thin it is - that's a major requirement for me. Unfortunately from a business perspective, not being a Windows Mobile device there's some integration compromises as a result.

On the flip side though, the browsing experience on Windows Mobile devices are a joke. The iPhone proves that mobile computing power is there - all we're talking about is rendering a document (i.e. a web page), what's the big deal?

The other big issue with Windows Smart Phones is they're ridiculously thick! Why?! Well, I found out the situation, the iPhone uses AT&T's Edge Network, which is their old school obsolete network - vs the high speed 3G network. The only way you're able to watch You Tube on an iPhone is because they made a special agreement with You Tube to reformat a large number of the videos to be deliverable over the low bandwidth Edge network.

The reason 3G phones are so thick is because it requires significantly more processing power to get the bandwidth (frequency processing, compression, etc...). So if the iPhone was 3G, the battery would die in an hour!

So...I'll wait for now. I want iPhone usability, iPhone thinness, but Windows Smart Phone Exchange integration and 3G bandwidth... and nothing that any of them do, the ability to use the full flash player.
