Amsterdam and Ghent was so much fun!

09/24/2008 02:13 pm by Aral Balkan in General

I had an absolute blast previewing my new talk, Aim for the low-hanging fruit (or 5 rules for Hedonistic Developers), at the Adobe User Group events in Amsterdam and Ghent during the Adobe CS4 launch. I always love presenting in both the Netherlands and Belgium -- you guys are so awesome -- and this time [...]

You don’t mess with the ‘Englineer Bother’

Hiring Horror is the outcome of many fun, anecdotal incidents involving email replies, ‘twit’-like behavioral patterns and other résumé spasms.

Check Out PolitiFact

09/23/2008 10:45 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in Stuff

No, I am not going to get into any presidential political discussions here. But, I mentioned PolitiFact to a few people lately who had never head of it, and so am sharing it here, too. PolitiFact is a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly to help you find the truth in the presidential campaign. Every day, reporters and researchers from the Times and CQ analyze the candidates' speeches, TV ads and interviews, and determine whether the claims are accurate or not using a Truth-O-Meter (which measures True, Mostly True, Half True, Mostly False, False, and Pants On Fire). Results are unbiased, non-partisan, succinct, informative, and fun, too!

Beware the AIR Badger!!

09/23/2008 08:06 pm by gBlog in Flash

A while back, I thought it would be a neat idea to build an AIR application that made it easier to configure and deploy badge installers. Adobe agreed, and the Badger application was created... Badger allows you to load a template install badge, configure all of its options, preview it live (via the HTML control in AIR), and then export it for deployment. Badger also takes the pain out of configuring badges by...

If You Don’t Know…

Now you know. CS4 was announced today and has a lot of cool new features. Take a look! UPDATE: Jen deHaan has posted a great little photo tour of the new Flash stuff on her blog. Check it out.

From Napkin to Flex Mockup

09/23/2008 05:09 pm by Flex RIA United in Startups

Here is the idea. When you are mocking up an UI design on a piece of napkin, people (users) would think you are just brain storming the UI. They won’t be too nervous about the UI because the sketch won’t imply the final look-and-feel. Now you want to start designing the UI with a more [...]

Polar Distortion with Flash 10 drawTriangles

I was playing around with some of the new drawing API features for the new book and realized I could redo the Polar distortion class I did a while back. http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1167 http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1187 http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1194 It was amazingly easy: And it's fast! Check it out. This will open full browser, which will slow it down, so you might want to download it [...]

ReadAIR Not Yet a Reader

09/23/2008 05:00 pm by Flex RIA United in Adobe AIR

After reading several positive reviews about this new way of reading feeds in Google Reader, I installed ReadAIR, tried it, and uninstalled it before starting this review. I found the post reading too long as I wrote it, and so changed it from a mostly negative review to a list of various issues that I [...]

CS4 NOT Released!

09/23/2008 04:14 pm in Flash

All over the blogosphere (I hate that word, but what are you going to call it?), all I can read is about how CS4 was released today. Maybe I’m just nitpicking here, but CS4 was not released. It was announced. Release means to let go of, let into the wild. It would mean I could buy [...]

Microsoft Using Flash Within Silverlight App?

09/23/2008 03:23 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in RIA

Is Microsoft using Flash embedded in their Silverlight Windows ads? Fellow evangelist Raghu seems to have found evidence that makes his post a most intriguing read.

Geographical pricing for CS4

09/23/2008 01:45 pm by Peter Elst in General

With all the talk about the huge difference in geographical pricing for Adobe’s products I wanted to do a quick comparison between what those in the US and those in Europe (or at least Belgium for as far as I can check) pay for some of the different suites. Master Collection CS4 Full price US: 2499 USD Full [...]

I like Flash CS4

09/23/2008 01:35 pm in Flash

Actually, I might even say I love Flash CS4. CS4 was announced today, and now I can talk about it. Yes, yes, I have OK from the mothership. I’ve been working with Flash since Flash 4. From Flash 5 to Flash MX 2004, the Flash IDE was a major part of my daily life. Towards the [...]

CS4 announced, still huge price differences

09/23/2008 12:09 pm by Martijn van Beek in

CS4 is announced by Adobe. And although the new feature look great the biggest bug still exists. The price difference between US pricing and Euro pricing is almost twice as much in disadvantage of us the europeans.

Web premium:
US: $1.699
Euro: € 2.259,81 = $ 3.342,48

Difference $1.643,48 (almost double)

Why Adobe? (this "bug" is also note by dearadobe.com)
