I’ve been quiet for quite some time now. There are 2 reasons for that. The first one is simply because I have been busy on a couple of projects and just didn’t find the time to write another blog post. The second reason is that I wanted to wait and see what would happen with [...]

I’ll be speaking at gotoAndSki();
Tonight I got one of the “coolest” emails you can get: I’ve been invited to give a session at gotoAndSki(); Switzerland on January 26th, 27th and 28th, 2012, which is really awesome. Unfortunately I haven’t been to this conference before, but I’ve heard very nice things about it and let’s face it, skiing during the [...]

No more hacking PlayBook AIR apps
Yesterday I received yet another monstrous update for the BlackBerry PlayBook. While on the one hand it is awesome that BlackBerry are investing so much time and effort to make things better, but a 250MB update every 2 weeks or so is a little too much for my taste. So far, I was quite happy [...]
Putting a Flex Mobile app on the PlayBook
As I’ve mentioned in my previous blog post, I’ve finally gotten hold of my free BlackBerry Playbook, so I started playing around with it. First impressions were quite good. Even my wife is interested in this device, which sounds great, but will probably mean I’ll have to kindly ask here to borrow it if I [...]

Fiddling with Phidgets at Flash Israel
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to present at Flash Israel on February 22-23. There were a lot of topics I could choose from, but looking at the list of speakers that were already selected, such as Ben Forta, Lee Brimelow, Grant Skinner, … I knew I had to [...]
Congratz to the new and renewed ACCs and ACPs
Today Adobe announced their new list of Adobe Community Professionals for 2011. And of course I am very happy to be part of this small community. But next to that list, they have launched a new list, namely the Adobe Community Champions. For those of you who don’t know what these lists are or who [...]

Drawing charts in a Flex 4.5 mobile application
So, I started working on my first AIR on Android application that’s on the Android market. It’s called SolarLogger and it’s a small application that allows you to monitor your solar panel installation using a SolarLog device. If you’ve been here a while ago, you may remember that I had such a solarlogger component in [...]
Adding swipe gestures to your mobile Flex application
With the Flex 4.5 SDK (aka Hero) you can now create some very nifty mobile applications to run on Android enabled devices as well as on the BlackBerry PlayBook. Now, one of the features you’ll use on any touch enabled device is the swipe gesture. You can use this gesture to move things around or [...]
