Ted Patrick wrote last month about The Future of the Flash Platform and asked people to be more vocal about the features and bug fixes they're looking for. Here's my in-depth lobbying session. Below are my top requests for the...
I'm on the latest episode of The Flex Show, where I talk about making changes to the Flex SDK and the Faster Flex 3 SDK. It was a lot of fun to do the interview with Jeffry Houser and John...
I presented at the Boston Flash Platform User Group (Brightcove office edition) tonight as a last-minute fill-in. I put together the following presentation which gives details on making changes to the Flex SDK. It doesn't have too much information in...
