Sexy enough to (c)lick it?

Ok, so that title just had to be after Paul Mooney's awesome post.

  • If you don't know Flex by now, go check it out - it let's you create serious (=business) jaw-dropping eye-candy stuff.
  • If you know Flex, and don't know AIR, go check it out - it lets you take Flex apps offline, as well as wrap them into desktop apps that don't even require a browser any more (still, credit remains with the browser people, for details see below).
  • If you know Flex and AIR, but don't know greenLight yet, go check it out (the screenshots, at least, to get an idea of Flex).
  • If you know all of this anyway, go somewhere else - I don't have news for you just now (I sincerely apologize) - and come back tomorrow
Thanks for stopping by - it's a pleasure having you here.
Please make way for the other visitors right behind you.
Have a great day! (yup, that's a quote, too)




p.s. referring to Paul's post once again, I'd like to give credit to the people who deserve it, which certainly isn't me, but:

  • The people from Adobe who made Flex
  • My colleagues, that made greenLight with Flex
  • All the browser people that make sure that the stuff one does with Flex can be seen by lots-o-people
  • Again, the people from Adobe that made the browser people's lives easier with (the) Adobe Flash (plugin)
  • Francie, for translating a manager's view on greenLight into geek-speak
  • Paul (Mooney), for spreading the word

Now, here are the credits for all that backend stuff, noone ever sees:

Credits also go to:

Linux Community (especially to Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/)
PostreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/)
Eclipse (especially to EasyEclipse http://www.easyeclipse.org/)
The Jython Project (http://www.jython.org)

Special thanks to:

Math/CS Department at Emory University for their backport of the concurrency API (http://backport-jsr166.sourceforge.net/) - now, after some rework (porting the backport to Lotus Notes) , there is a Java concurrency API working with the Lotus Notes/Domino API

greetings
