The Tampa Flash, Flex and AIR Developers Group has a special meeting next Wednesday (March 4th) with an impressive agenda (including Flex 4, AIR 1.5, Catalyst, CF Next, Spring/BlazeDS presentations), and an equally impressive speaker line up: Ben Forta, Greg Wilson, Kevin Hoyt.
Jeremy Grelle, SpringSource Engineering lead will also present the recently released Spring / BlazeDS integration.
More informatiom about this event here.
ILOG has released V2 of their Elixir Flex components. The list of new components available in version 2 includes: Calendar, Gantt task charts, heatmaps, and OLAP/pivot charts. All the version 1 components have been improved as well.
Check out the live demos here.
Additional product information is available here.
I recently posted a sample Adobe AIR application named Quicklook that shows how to use the new ILog Calendar component and persist the calendar data in a local SQLite database. This application was built with the latest beta version of ILog Elixir 2, and works without modification with the GA version. Check it out here.
In this new Adobe TV episode, I demonstrate how to build Flex applications that connect to a Spring back-end using the new Spring / BlazeDS Integration project.
If you are interested in this integration, make sure you check out the Spring / BlazeDS Integration page on the SpringSource web site and the new Spring / BlazeDS Integration Test Drive.
Using Adobe Flex Builder 4 and LCDS “Next”, you will be able to build data-driven applications using a Model-Driven Development approach. In this Adobe TV episode, I give a sneak peek of this new feature.
I will be speaking at the QCon Conference in London again this year. QCon is a very high quality conference with deep technical content around Java, .NET, SOA, etc. I highly recommend it if you have the opportunity. I’m particularly excited about my presentation this year: In addition to “sneak peeking” some new development in the Flex world, I will be focusing on the Spring / Flex integration recently announced by SpringSource and Adobe. I hope to see you there.
The 2009 edition of the Tour of California starts tomorrow. For the third consecutive year, you will be able to follow the race live using the Adobe Tour Tracker.

I wrote about the initial implementation of the LCDS backend back in 2007. This write-up is now a little dated but still provides a high level overview of how LCDS is being used.
Start the Adobe Tour Tracker.
There have been a lot of discussions around Flex Frameworks lately. Tony Hillerson has an interesting series here: 1 2 3 4 5 6
A relative newcomer on the list is Swiz, the work of Chris Scott. I figured I would give it a try, and create a Swiz version of the inSync application that I often use to try out and demonstrate different features and techniques in Flex and Adobe AIR. This is not an endorsement of Swiz over other frameworks. I simply wanted to share the sample application I built as part of my own research as a (neutral like a Swiss) Evangelist.
I have been playing with the new iLog calendar component that I plan to incorporate in the next version of Salesbuilder. In the meantime, I figured I would share this simple application that shows how to use the iLog component and persist its calendar data in a local SQLite database.
This application only uses a subset of the features available in the calendar component. For example the component also supports recurring events.
