Well, not exactly Adobe MAX, I’ll be speaking at FITC Unconference @ Adobe MAX which is your normal FITC sessions that are a lot more technically inclined. I’ll be talking about Agile Project and Delivery Integration; Don’t miss this session if you work on large enterprise applications.
Hope to see some familiar faces there.
Last night, I went to a Windows Phone 7 Developer event aptly name ‘Developer Happy Hour’ which was organized by the Flash New York Meetup. We met at a bar where some Microsoft evangelists showed up with a few phones that we could play with. Here are some of the impressions I got from talking to the employees and playing around with the phone.

Anyone remember Saffron? I was never certain if this project was ever going to come to fruition, so lately I was thinking excessively about making my own. I started searching for inspiration in other UML tools so I could design a better user interface. Low and behold, I stumble across UML4AS, a brand spanking new project that does just what I was planning of doing.
It integrates completely with Eclipse (and Flash Builder) and has this neat feature called CodeSync that makes sure your model and code is always persisted between each other. In other words, everything works together in an integrated workflow to save you time.
I’ll have to dig deeper, try this out on projects and do a complete review. In the meantime, please support this initiative by registering and posting on the forum.
Last Flex Meetup I had a presentation on how to develop a Flex application and run it on the Android mobile OS using Air for Android. I’m now going to go step by step on how to do it. Information on how to accomplish this feat is fairly scarce, especially example projects, and hopefully this will help pave the way.
First things first, everyone that wants to develop Air for Android needs to sign-up to the pre-release program @ Adobe. This is a central location to get all the latest files (like the Air 2.5 SDK) and documentation on this platform. It’s also a good way to communicate with other developers, see projects that people are doing and post any questions or feedback about your development with Air.
Some of you might of seen my past post about the FirebugLogger class. It was an easy way to have text show up in the Firebug console in Firefox and has proven itself quite useful. However, since I’ve been using Parsley a lot lately I needed something new to show the output of Parsley in Firebug. Parlsey uses the native Flex logging framework (like TraceTarget) when you specify it in the config.
