AS3 Failure? August 8, 2009
Intro According to the posts from Joa Ebert and Nicolas Cannasse I put my personal opinion on stack. Starting with Flash4 I see the long run of Actionscript for 10 years. It became truly a serious language since then. Back at the time, where no type-safe programming was possible and Actionscript errors were caught silently by [...]

Pitch MP3 Juli 2, 2009
Pitching MP3 (Not PitchShift!) is possible since Flash10s new Sound API. Today I saw Lee Brimelow's post about doing so, providing some source code. Cause we spend a lot of time to keep things running more smoothly in the AudioTool, I created another version which has some advantages. No objects are created in runtime (memory usage) The [...]

Flash on tap, Flashbelt and a tiny insight of the states Juni 16, 2009
Coming back from two weeks of traveling through the states with my co-worker Alan Ross. Starting in Boston, we attended Flash on Tap, where I spoke about Digital Audio Signal Processing in Flash10. FOT was great and the beer-tastings were delightful. A lot of local breweries shown up to present their beers. Cheers! Looking forward [...]

Flash Snippets panel for Flash Builder 4 Oktober 30, 2009
I am releasing an early test version of the snippets panel that I have been working on for Flash Builder 4. Now this panel is essentially a re-skinned version of the great SnipTreeView panel that I modified to also work with MXML files. Now when I say this is an early version I really do mean it. Expect it not to work and if it does, well you will be pleasan […]

The Latin Flash Tour is only 2 weeks away! Oktober 23, 2009
I can’t believe that in two weeks I will be back in Latin America and I’m so excited about it. If you live anywhere in South America and are even remotely interested in Flash then you have to attend. It is not often that Adobe gets to come down to see you, although I’m hoping this is the start of a new trend. One thing that is really import […]

A dating guide for the discerning mobile platform: how to attract and keep your dream developer. November 16, 2009
Why, hello there! I couldn't help but notice you smiling at me across the room. Oh, you're a mobile platform? How interesting. Me? Why yes, it just so happens that I am a developer. How'd you know? Oh, my sexy three keyboard cats howling at the moon t-shirt gave me away, eh? So, you [...]
Apple is losing its iPhone Value Adders November 16, 2009
Before I start, for those of you who don't know me (or haven't attended any of my talks on User Experience), let me reiterate that I have the utmost admiration for Apple's focus on UX. A strong focus on UX necessitates saying "no" many more times than "yes". It appears, however, that this "no" culture [...]
Maximizing your DROIT, or: why you should learn HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for mobile development. November 15, 2009
As a developer you have one resource that is more valuable than any other. It is also the scarcest resource you have. That resource is time. Given such a limited and valuable resource, you should be looking to make the most of how you invest it. In other words, which tools and technologies should you devote [...]
