"What tech skills are in demand? One measure comes from Elance, a global online workplace of contract jobs. The company's monthly Top 100 Online Work Index for August, set for official release Tuesday, shows a big jump in several tech-related positions.

The Index ranks skills in demand by Elance clients. Graphic Design comes in at number one followed by PHP, MySQL, Adobe Flash and HTML. Among the biggest gainers are Google Website Optimizer, ranked 31 and up 28 percent. Also up, RSS (ranked 76), Adobe Flex (ranked 59), Linux (ranked 58) skills up 19, 30 and 18 percent respectively.

"Ovum has previously discussed the potential for rich Internet application (RIA) frameworks as application platforms in mobile handsets (see Ovum's report- Rich Internet applications in mobile and consumer electronics: impact analysis) but the tracker shows how little impact RIAs have so far made on smartphones. Adobe's Flash and Flash Lite have achieved the best penetration, with 41 smartphone models supporting Flash. Symbian dominates this figure: 25 are Symbian-based (all except one of the Symbian handsets released support Flash). Windows Mobile has patchy support for Flash (manufacturers even support it inconsistently across their Windows Mobile portfolios), and iPhone OS and Android currently do not support it at all.

Of the other RIA frameworks tracked (Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight), penetration is zero, indicating that usefulness of these platforms for application developers is still some way off."

Problem statement: C/C++ have been around for more than 30 years. Talking about a huge base of production code out there that isn't going to be rewritten anytime soon. At the same time, it's hard to justify rewriting a lot of it just to satisfy one particular platform.

The Alchemy solution: Create a C/C++ to ActionScript converter. With the new powers of Flash Player 10 and AIR 1.5, this now becomes a feasible solution. Some practical examples include using popular encryption libraries.

On the media side of things, Flash does have its built in codecs, but with C++ codec libraries available you can make media players that are cable of leveraging these algorithms. Similarly leveraging libPNG for PNG manipulation, and Adobe's own C API's for Acrobat PDFs. Taking this to the extreme they produced a Quake Flash port from the C code, and a Nintendo emulator that ran Mario Bros.

Bolt – New ColdFusion Editor

• Eclipse based Plugin
• Includes a server awareness monitor
• Lots of autoprompting. CFINCLUDEs will automatically popup a window for the file to include, the datasource property of a CFQUERY will have an autoprompt of the datasources your CF Server are configured with, CFOUTPUT's query property will autoprompt from previously run CFQUERY's.
• Knows about your Components, so that it can autoprompt/hint on properties and methods.
• ORM generation (Object Relational Mapping).
• From the ORM you can then quickly generate an AJAX client to work with the data (good for proof of concepting, or giving you a head start on an AJAX UI).

Flex Builder 4 (Gumbo)

• Ability to import the new FXP format (which Flash Catalyst supports)
• Flex Builder and ColdFusion will have some tighter flows now.
• Lots of improvements on the FB->CF through new data services abilities.
  • You can point to a CFC and generate a services layer to work with it.
  • Drag and Drop functions from the CFC into Flex Builder.
  • Autogenerate placeholder Event handlers needed to work with the Operations supported by the CFC. You fill in any necessary business logic, but the shell of the function is done saving you a ton of time)
• Network traffic monitor (similar to ServiceCapture).
• Way easier ability to preview, switch, and apply themes.
• FlexBuilder Plugin for Visual Studio in the works.
• .NET AMF bridge in the works.

Fc is positioned as a design tool for the rapid creation of interactive user interfaces with little to no coding. It's a tool that bridges the gap between the designers and developers by leveraging design assets (PSDs, Illustrator files, etc...) from tools designers use (the CS4 suite) to a format that Flex developers could use.

Fc addresses a lot of problems in the Design to Developer workflow, and a lot of those are pretty obvious. For example taking static design compositions from Designers, as a Developer you then burn a lot of time trying to slice it apart into a format you can use – and heavy forbid the design changes. Even small changes can involved redoing it all over again. CS3 and FB3 did improve some of that with easier to skin controls, but how far you could go was still fairly limited. To make Fc truly successful, the whole platform needed to be evolved. Quite a monumental effort because we're talking about many of the CS4 products, Flex, and Flash. So getting CS4 and Flash Player 10 was the first step to that, and following up will be Flex Builder 4 (Gumbo) and Catalyst.

Part Fc's success will come from this workflow round trip capability of being able to open an asset in it's native tool (e.g. Illustrator), copying it to the clipboard, and then in Catalyst pasting it in. But, if you need to make modifications using that object's natural tooling you just right on it, select edit, make the changes in the appropriate tool and you're good to go. What makes this possible is this new common interchange file format called FXG.

Catalyst uses the same theme as the rest of the CS4 products, so as a Designer you'll be used to common elements such as layers and what not. You simple import assets from whatever tool, and literally convert any graphical asset on a layer into any kind of object.

And when you're done, you export it into this FXP format (Flex 4 Project), that Flex Builder will completely recognize. As a developer, you can then focus on hooking in remaining business logic, data access, etc... They imply that it's possible for the Designer to update their Design without impacting the Developer, though that part I'm not quite sure how that would work.

So all that solves some of the gaps between Designers and Developers, but here's the clincher. Designers could only model static compositions and then bounce those over as jpegs/pngs to the developers. But they couldn't model the actual interaction (the transitions from one page to another, and how things hide and become visible, etc...). Catalyst gives Designers the ability to do this too.

Previously, it'd be up to the Developer to hook in the transitions, effects, and interactions. With Catalyst, it allows the Designer to focus on the experience side of things, and frees up the Developer to focus on the logic.

Good stuff.

To fight Status Quo they'll need improvements on Design, Development, and Deployment. They demoed a home automation system that is driven by an AIR 1.5 application.

Flash CS4

• Interchangeable XFL format introduced to work with files across applications. For example importing an InDesign project into Flash, and have all the properties editable.
• Made the process of animating something way easier for novices. Right click on an object, select animate, move where you want it to go and done. You can then manipulate the path to give it a custom motion.
• Flash CS4 adds a bone structure feature so that you can wire how an object is constructed, allowing you to give it really refined animation and movement. E.g. they used it to make a Surf board dance.
• Flash CS4 you can publish to an AIR app.

• Adds context aware scrolling.
• Knows what can be stretched (like the background) while preserving important objects (like people). You can go further and lasso what you define as important.
• Autoblend layers features will automask all the soft areas.
• 3D painting allows you to draw on a 3D object while allow you to rotate and reposition. You can merge 2D drawings onto a 3D object.

Next posting will be on Flash Catalyst (under the Design category of the Key Note).

The first thing that stood out is that it's in color! I love color, especially for technical material it adds a whole extra dimension to the medium and another vehicle by which to communicate. Obviously in code listings it makes the code easier to visually digest and mentally break down what you're seeing, and with screen caps color is so much more appealing.

The dimension of the book is wider that normal, which gives the book an extra wide gutter that the publisher is able to leverage. And leverage they do by making use of it for an assortment of side bars, notes, tips, and blurbs.

So aside from the aesthetics, content of course is the key. The book is aimed at beginners who don't necessarily have any sort of programming background - so the audience that this book would appeal to includes anyone interested in learning more about Flex and if it's the right fit for them; as a quick read (only 304 pages) you can blast through this book in a short amount of time.

Who might those people be? Developers wanting to test the waters with Flex because they had heard good things about it, Flash or Web media designers thinking about getting into the development side of things with Flex, and management level folks looking to explore new opportunities and want to get a barometer reading on what it would take to get into Flex, etc...

The writing style is fairly casual, and you feel like the author is talking to you (as opposed to the feeling of a manual). I think the author does a pretty good job at keeping things high level with enough meat to make the reader feel they're actually being productive as they work through the examples.

So I'd recommend this book to someone who wants to get their feet wet with Flex - someone who may not be fully committed to Flex at this point in time and doesn't want to invest a ton of time yet.

I was in Barnes and Nobles a few weeks ago and actually saw an issue in the magazine rack - which is pretty impressive considering I've yet to see a Sys-Con magazine in any store.

click here for more on FFD...

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.

This is David's follow-up to his AIR Essential Training course, and takes a deeper look at how Flex Builder 3 and the Flex 3 framework can be used to build cross-system desktop applications with Adobe AIR. David examines every point of integration with the host operating system, including working with the local file system, creating and maintaining local databases, and managing native windows and menus.

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.

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.

All we have a very exciting position available. We're about to embark on re-engineering a brand new system from the ground up. The front end involves heavy Flex development; but as long as you're good in CF, we're willing to train you to become a Flex god.

Here are the deets:

"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."

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!

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?"

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

"the biggest challenge for me was to figure out interaction principles and mechanisms that would help provide a satisfying new approach to diagramming..."

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.

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.

I've definitely noticed a trend where organizations are looking for technical staff that can bridge the gap between technology and business. Once upon a time you sought after the most hardcore techies you could find, but if those techies aren't able to sync up their passion and motivation for technologically pure solution to the goals of the company - it was all for not.

Though I don't know if ComputerWorld feels they're being honest, or if they have a bias, but they continue to push this Anti-Adobe agenda by saying Flex is a boutique technology so the talent pool is small, yet they're saying Silverlight is going to have a huge demand.

If they feel they're being honest, and just reporting their perspective - some would say that's bad journalism. But ComputerWorld is more of a magazine, they just report opinion.

Living in the Adobe eco-system it's easy to feel that the whole world knows about the technologies, so it's hard to truly assess what the overall perspective is amongst I.T Management and technologists. E.g. I haven't come across a single Silverlight developer, but then again, I'm sure Silverlight developers would say the same thing about the rarity of Flex'ers. So what is the reality, I have no idea without doing some research. And the reality is there is no reality, only perspectives.

I think we're at interesting times as this type of technology continues to emerge. But overall I think the ingredients are there for things to flourish, if they aren't already. Tracking the Flex Eco-System is something I like to observe, and there's all kinds of indicators you can use to track the progress. For example using an indicator like books shows that things are moving along well. Flex 1 had 1 book, Flex 2 has at least 10, and there's a bunch more that are in the works and being prepped for Flex 3.

An interesting thing to note about the evolution of Flex books is you got that first wave of "here's everything about Flex", to where books becoming very specialized now. Over the last 3 weeks I've been visiting Barnes and Nobles and Borders to see if they're putting Flex books on the shelves - unfortunately this is has been still rare, though at the same time so are books on Silverlight.

There's all kinds of indicators you could watch - number of bloggers, number of users on FlexCoders, number of Flex Jobs being posted, etc... And as those things grow, perspectives will change.

So here's looking forward to 2008, cheers!

With these Open Source options, I found the biggest problem is the lack of active development. The primary developers in general gave up.

On the pay front, a lot of solutions are web based - but that entails the ordeal of having to set up the server applications, etc... What's nice about desktop approaches is you just need the client and you're rocking and rolling, because I don't about you but I have ZERO time to be dealing with getting 3rd party software working.

The folks at AgileAgneda recently came out with a public beta so I thought I've give it a try, and as a first glance this product looks very promising.

The UI is very clean and intuitive - it has a no nonsense approach by focusing on what the 80-90% of what your common usages are going to be, which is key to usability. The software's key ability is to help you in automatically adjusting schedules based on tasks that run longer than expected, resources taking vacations, etc...

Another core theme is collaboration. You can share the schedules online via integration with BaseCamp, as well as export to PDF.

Installation was a breeze - you just click on their Install button on their website and it takes care of the rest. AgileAgenda is based on Adobe's AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) platform, which allows for the creation of platform agnostic desktop applications (i.e... the software will run on any OS that the AIR runtime is available for).

It's not as powerful as MS Project 2007, but at the same time MS Project 2K7 costs over $500 vs AgileAgenda who has a pre-release price of $60 ($110 after release).

The one major thing I'd like to see is the ability to visually nest/indent dependencies and expand/collapse on tasks that are parents (makes it easier to see a high level view of a complex project).

InternetNews.com posted an article on the upcoming Crystal Reports 2008 which integates Flex/Flash with it's own Xcelsius technology. The goal is to get away from these static and most often tabular reports to more interactive dashboards with the ability to do predictive modelling (e.g. what-if scenarios).

Quite the long overdue enhancements, there hasn't been an update to CR in 3 years - which is a lifetime in technology, and it's great to seem them really taking a huge leap forward (vs just getting caught up). The nice thing of it all is that the pricing is very reasonable, only $495.

I might as well chime in. :) Overtime a term becomes unique in its context, vs what it literally means.

E.g. when browsers first came out they used the term "bookmarks". Back then the Web was originally a document distribution mechanism, so you literally were bookmarking a page.

But now, when you say "bookmark it" - do you visualize that you're doing an electronic version of taking a piece of paper to mark a position in a book? It's become it's own term now, and the actual meaning of the words have no relevance. In fact, a bookmark is more synonymous with an address book.

*BUT*... the verbiage never changed, it became the term. And this is what happened to RIA. When people hear "rich internet application", they no longer take the words literally but consider it a term in itself.

So, long story short, I doubt the term will change. People are creatures of habit, and "Rich Internet Application" commands big time mind share.

ILOG Elixir complements Adobe Flex – a cross platform, open source framework for creating rich Internet applications that run identically in all major browsers and operating systems – as it provides developers with rich display capabilities not currently available elsewhere. Today’s Web displays typically rely on Ajax technology which, although available on most Web browsers, still lack the full interactivity and rich visuals of native desktop applications.

"Flex, based on the Adobe Flash® technology, not only offers a richer user experience, it also allows the Flex/Flash platform to be used to develop an entirely new generation of application that behaves like a desktop application but can actually be deployed via the Web. Adobe Flash is already installed on more than 96 percent of Internet-connected desktops worldwide and continues to grow,” said ILOG CEO Pierre Haren. “In other words, Adobe Flex is poised to be a great foundation for RIA applications and it is the logical next step after Ajax for ambitious developers who want to bring a desktop application-like experience to the Web."

"We are excited about this agreement with ILOG and the benefits that it will offer to Flex developers,” said Michele Turner, vice president of product marketing and management, Platform Business Unit at Adobe. “ILOG is a trusted source for providing industry-leading data visualization technology. And now companies using Flex can leverage ILOG’s enterprise-class data visualization components to help support the numerous demands they have for more sophisticated user displays."

Through its Java™, .NET and C++ graphics libraries and components, ILOG provides the industry’s most comprehensive set of graphics tools for creating sophisticated, interactive user displays. ILOG’s graphics products enhance decision-making speed and ability by making vast quantities of complex data more comprehensible and manageable for users. With each of ILOG’s visualization products, developers can save 50 to 80 percent of development time in creating displays. For more information on these products, please visit http://www.ilog.com/products/visualization.

ILOG is a member of the OpenAjax Alliance™ and participates in several standards initiatives in the graphics world, including the World Wide Web Consortium’s scalable vector graphics standard committee, of which ILOG is a co-chair. Pricing and Availability ILOG Elixir enters beta today and is expected to ship in conjunction with the release of the Adobe Flex 3 software. Pricing will be announced with availability in early 2008. More details are online at http://flex.ilog.com.

About ILOG ILOG delivers software and services that empower customers to make better decisions faster and manage change and complexity. Over 2,500 corporations and more than 465 leading software vendors rely on ILOG’s market-leading business rule management system (BRMS), supply chain planning and scheduling applications, and optimization and visualization software components, to achieve dramatic returns on investment, create market-defining products and services, and sharpen their competitive edge.

Social.FM Network (Social Media Network): The Social.FM Network implements a brand-new distributed content delivery network, which is optimized to encode and stream media in multiple formats to fixed and wireless networks. The new Social.FM platform integrates seamlessly with emerging Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Application (RIA) technologies such as Ajax and Adobe Flex, enabling the development of add-on services, widgets and other social applications across multiple platforms and devices.

"This beta represents an important milestone for GIS Web Services; in fact, more than 650 developers have already signed up for the beta in the last 60 days," noted Mike Tait, Internet Solutions Group director at ESRI. "The ArcWeb Services Flex API beta provides a powerful set of visualization and analysis tools for developers building Web 2.0 applications. The end result is users are taking back control of how content is used and how the end results are displayed. Our customers are just beginning to uncover patterns and trends that they simply wouldn't have seen before."

The functionality is made possible through an integrated development framework that ties together the content, the user interface, and workflow. Benefits of the framework include end user functionality such as rearranging windows and widgets or activating or de-activating them to suit a unique work style. Multiple layers of content can also be finely manipulated depending on the problem that needs to be solved. For example, layers can be added, removed, reordered, or turned on and off dynamically, and layer transparencies can be adjusted on the fly.

"The ArcWeb Flex components and services enable the creation of rich GIS applications on the Web and desktop that leverage the ubiquity of Adobe Flash Player," notes Ted Patrick, Flex technical evangelist. "ESRI continues to push the boundary with GIS visualization, and the ArcWeb Flex release is a breakthrough component set for Flex developers."

Organizations can also use the API to quickly add remote services such as ArcGIS Server maps, ArcIMS maps, or Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS (GeoRSS) feeds on any Web server without needing to set up a proxy or a custom data source within ArcWeb Services. The API also implements an Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) environment to help streamline the downloading and use of user interface components.

ArcWeb Services offer developers a comprehensive set of Web services APIs and geographic content hosted by ESRI for integrating mapping and geographic information system (GIS) functionality into browser, server, desktop, or mobile applications. The APIs include JavaScript, SOAP, REST, a Java ME Mobile Toolkit, and OpenLS. Organizations are using ArcWeb Services to build a wide range of applications for solving business problems such as fleet management and business intelligence.

On-demand geographic and business data is accessible through the APIs from more than 20 leading commercial data and content providers. This data includes driving directions, addresses, streets, points of interest, elevation, topography, weather, traffic, and business and population information for the United States and select countries.

To sign up for a free 90-day evaluation of the ArcWeb Services Flex 2 API, visit www.esri.com/flex or call 1-800-447-9778.

“Lightstreamer, since its inception seven years ago, has supported many types of client technologies”, said Alessandro Alinone, CTO of Lightstreamer, “We started with Web clients, based on HTML and JavaScript, well before the AJAX and Comet terms were coined. Then we added more client SDKs, such as Java and .NET. The new Flex SDK was requested by several of our customers, to leverage Lightstreamer Server for both AJAX and Flash/Flex applications, and we are now glad to publicly release it”.

The new Flex SDK features a native ActionScript 3 library that handles the communication with Lightstreamer Server and offers a high-level API, used by Flex developers to exploit the publish/subscribe paradigm implemented by Lightstreamer. The Flex SDK, that is shipped as part of Lightstreamer Presto and Vivace editions, will be demonstrated at AjaxWorld 2007 West (September 23-26, 2007, Santa Clara Convention Center, CA).

About Lightstreamer
Lightstreamer is a push/streaming engine based on the AJAX and Comet paradigms that can deliver real-time text data to Web browsers (pure HTML applications, with no downloads) and to any client applications. The Lightstreamer Server can handle thousands of concurrent clients and implements advanced algorithms, as bandwidths management, congestion control, dynamic filtering. Lightstreamer (legal entity Weswit Srl) is part of Par-Tec Spa. Development began in 2000, originally by the financial system Integration activity within the group, then in 2004 Lightstreamer became an independent ISV to provide ‘push technology’ to a wider global market. For more information see www.lightstreamer.com where several on-line demonstrations are available.

Unveiled at the JavaOne conference in May, JavaFX Script is built as a scripting language for content creation on the JavaFX multimedia application development platform. JavaFX technologies are only available in pre-release forms at this point.

But a poll on java.net last week found that a majority of the 756 respondents were at best not very interested in learning JavaFX Script. Some 16.9 percent, or 128 voters, were very interested and 27.7 percent, or 210 voters, were somewhat interested. However, the remaining respondents, totaling 418 voters, were either not very interested (25.2 percent), not at all interested (19.1 percent) or checked off the "JavaFWhat?" option in the poll (10.8 percent made this their choice).

Comments posted on the poll were more positive, however. "I think java.net is the wrong place to ask this question. JavaFX should be a good tool for non-programmers," said one commenter.

"I'm more interested in groovy. On the other hand, JavaFX will be first choice on mobiles in the future," said another commenter.

Another said JavaFX looks interesting but that developers could build Adobe Flex applications today.

I counted about something like 36 people or so, and it was standing room only for anyone who showed up late. The highlight of the night was a very indepth presentation by Brendan Meutzner from CNET Networks.

Brendan specializing in leveraging Flex's charting abilities and integrating into the backend of B.I systems shared with us his experience by breaking down how to build an app identical to Google Finance.

Career wise, it's a great time to be a Flex Developer - a couple of startups and consulting companies announcing that they're hiring.

Was great meeting more folks I haven't met before, and of course seeing some familiar faces. For those of you in the bay area, you really want to attend these meets not only to network, but also to see what interesting things other people are doing to get some fresh ideas, to learn new stuff, and on the rare occasion our great leader Tom Ortega remembers to bring the freebie give aways (snicker). :) But they did give away some nice prizes, which included 2 passes to 360 Flex, and a Gift Certifiate that can be used to buy an Adobe product worth up to $2000.

And of course, thanks again to RoundPEG for providing the pizza and drinks.

They're now planning on making the content available online so you now get the added convenience of being able to watch from any computer. With regards to Flex they have two great learning resources, one called Adobe Flex 2 RIAs and Adobe Flex 2 Advanced Visual Programming - which we should see as online offerings soon.

Currently I’ve read The Essential Guide to Flex 2 w/AS3, and am reading RIAs w/Adobe Flex and Java, and Programming Flex 2 – The Comprehensive Guide.

All of the books I’ve read so far have been great, and having 8 yrs of experience in the Knowledge Management industry, if the content is relevant and accurate, it’s valuable. Each of the books have different approaches, breadth, and depth of subject matter. So I wouldn’t say one book is better than another – more important is to find the book that best matches how you learn, where you’re at learning curve wise, and how committed you are (do you want to just know enough to make some cool CRUDs, or become an extreme RIA ninja).

One of the things I’ve found with Flex is it’s very difficult to talk purely about one subject without having to reference surrounding topics to make examples have some kind of context. E.g. it’s hard to talk about Effects without mentioning Events. Do you cover all of ActionScript up front, or try to integrate AS understanding as you go along piggy backing on other subjects?

So there’s two ways to tackle this – introduce a lot of things at once, and as the book goes along you progressively increase on depth; or topic by topic you lay it all down, so that once that topic is covered you can utilize that info in subsequent topics if you need to.

Both are valid approaches, and all I would say is consider what kind of learner you are. Do you like knowing a little about a lot upfront to get a big picture, or do you find that too overwhelming and just want very focused topics and know all that there is to know about that topic.

At the same time, if you wanted a lot of width and breadth, you’d end up with a 3000 page book. So look at the chapter listing of all the books you’re considering and see how many topics they cover, if it’s A LOT of subjects and roughly the same amount of pages of another book, you’re going to get more breadth. And vice versa, fewer topics over the same amount of pages is usually indicative of depth.

Recently I finished Professional Adobe Flex 2, by Rich Tretola, Simon Barber, and Renaun Erickson. I’ve actually had the pleasure of knowing both Rich and Renaun for awhile and met them in person at Adobe MAX 06, and hope to meet Simon at some point. I know from first hand knowledge that these guys are extremely knowledgeable at Flex, and what I would classify as extreme experts.

Though that doesn’t necessarily translate into the ability to write well – but fortunately they have the skill, and you can see from their blogs that they’re passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge.

This is a good sized book weighing in at 687 pages – and the approach they take is cover a lot of things at once, and progressively ramp up in complexity. The content leans towards the breadth side of things, but they quickly jump straight into deep territory in the sense that they reveal the low level details of how Flex works. With that being said, although a useful book to have as a beginner, they don’t spend too much time on "newbie" stuff, and focus more on real world issues you’ll encounter. One highlight of the book is the examples; they’re very practical and universal, and you get some useful nuggets of code you can use in your real world applications.

I’d recommend this book to anyone, but those that will get the most out of it are intermediate level users who’ve conquered the rudimentary basics Flex and want to take their game further, and need that next level of understanding. It’s also a decent reference book if you want to quickly brush up on a certain topic, or if you’re struggling with and issue and need further understanding on the subject to conquer it.

Historically though, handicappers would be betting against them. Sun had the opportunity to dominate the RIA space before the term RIA's existed with their 12-15yr lead by way of Java Applets.

But, as highly touted as they were, Applets turned out to be a huge let down. They were bloated and slow, the cross platform experience varied, all kinds of time out issues through firewalls, huge runtime footprint, clients were hardly thin, etc...

So now Sun is at it again. I don't doubt Sun's technical abilities, but at the same time that is what I think the root of their problem. As far as Sun is concerned, the hard core technical perspective is their only perspective. Java, and all it's surrounding technologies are tools by developers, for developers, that result in tools for developers.

What Sun doesn't get, that Adobe does get, is that it's not about the tool, or bragging rights over who has the biggest list of features. Those are all just means to an end - once the tool is made you don't declare success and call it a day.

It's about the end user experience. And to do that, you need to engage all the people behind an initiative to achieve that experience, not just developers. It involves the usability people, marketers, designers, integrators, animators, audio and video people, etc...

Unless Sun realizes this, JavaFX may have a laundry list of features, but if they short sight their vision to just focusing on developers - they will fail.

However almost all books at the time were geared towards Flash as an animation and design tool for making rich media experiences (animation, games, etc…), and none of them focused on Flash purely for making Applications – except for one: Foundation Flash MX Applications by Friends of Ed (co-authored by Cairngorm genius Steven Webster).

A very good book that helped me achieve making some rudimentary RIAs. But as a developer minded person, I wasn’t able to get much further until Flex came along and enabled developers who operate on lines of code instead of timelines to make feature rich and rapidly engineered RIAs.

Fast forward to today, and the folks at Friends of Ed are out with their first Flex 2 book titled: The Essential Guide to Flex 2 with ActionScript 3.0.

The book assumes you have no prior knowledge of Flex, Flash, or ActionScript and covers a lot of bases including covering the basics of Object Oriented Programming, and how ActionScript implements it.

One of the challenges of writing a book about Flex is it’s hard to isolate a topic and provide examples that don’t require utilizing features yet to be discussed. So the approach that they take is to progressively (from a learning curve perspective vs topic perspective) introduce the features needed to fully discuss the primary topic. The result is as you go along your understanding of how things work in Flex progressively increases.

I definitely recommend this book for those who are interesting in seriously learning Flex, especially if you have no exposure to Flash and ActionScript. Actually the book starts you off so fresh that you don’t even really need much programming experience to get going.

Well, exactly! That’s the epiphany developers need to eventually realize. It’s not about websites. HTML was created around the concept of a de-centralized online document distribution mechanism that uses ‘hyperlinks’ to loosely join the pages together resulting in the term ‘the web’.

It didn’t take too long before people starting using programming languages to dynamically generate those pages, resulting in web applications. In a way, web apps are nothing more than a choose your own adventure book.

The web is optimized for documents and pages. It’s not optimized for applications. Take a look at additional terminology surrounding the web – do you ever 'bookmark' a video game, or bookmark your current view in SQL Server Enterprise Manager? Do navigate to Photoshop's 'home page' when you load it up? These are live applications, there’s no concept of pages.

It feels almost pointlessly obvious to say that (and oddly retro), but I think people keep forgetting those roots. The usability sacrifice that came from moving way from desktop applications to web applications was worth it because of the low cost deployment model and the relative platform independence. But web applications will continue to suffer from the limitations of this ‘document’ model.

Flex is a huge leap forward towards the usability and model of a regular application. It’s not for making web applications, and it’s not for making websites.

That’s the epiphany.

Because it runs in a browser and is deployed from a website, people emotionally associate it with Web Applications. Yes, there is some gray there in how you perceive all of this, but you need to think of Flex as a model for making internet deployed platform agnostic applications.

However, because Flex apps piggy back on a browser to invoke them, they suffer from the limitations of living inside an engine that was meant purely to load web pages. Apollo is liberation from this limitation.

Apollo let’s your Flex applications run as applications outside the confinement of ‘the web’; this the final leap towards the holy grail of internet deployed platform independent desktop applications. Forget about Web Sites. Forget about Web Apps. The web will continue to be strong at pages, and have a solid place as information distribution.

“I don’t see how this will add value to web sites.”

As caterpillars, those who don’t come to the epiphany will continue to limit themselves. Those that do come to the epiphany will transform into butterflies and take things to the next level. Trying to squish your understanding of Apollo+Flex (or any new internet application framework) into the web paradigm will hold you back - you have to free your mind from the mental shackles you’ve formed from having developed web applications over the last 10 years.

I'm just speculating, but I don't think it's much of a stretch. Today it was announced (PRNewswire) that AnyChart and Adobe have partnered up to enable Adobe solutions to use AnyChart's following products:

• Anychart Flash Map Component
• Anychart Flash Gantt Chart Component
• Anychart Flash Chart Component
• AnyChart Dashboard Service

So... could this mean that these awesome components will appear in a future version of Flex? That would be most awesome.

Try rebooting your system, it should work after that.
