O’Reilly: Inside RIA

MAX 2008 is upon us. Last year I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to contribute to the MAX Award winning application eBay Desktop while working at EffectiveUI. This year I had the privilege to work with NASDAQ's team on NASDAQ Market Replay version 2 as a Universal Mind consultant.

Please take a minute to check out Market Replay and remember to vote for early and often for Market Replay in the people's choice award category.

A couple of my co-workers at Universal Mind started a project a while back called FlexMDI. Ben Clinkinbeard and Brian Holmes started this project after meeting at 360 Flex - Seattle last August. Also on the project is Brendan Meutzner.

Merapi, the framework to enable integration between Java and AIR at the desktop, was released in Alpha on Monday, July 14th.

One of the most popular past posts on my blog adamflater.net has been Static Code Blocks!. Due to the amount of requests for that post I thought this would be a good topic to feature on InsideRIA regarding ActionScript and static code.

It was recently announced the the next 360|Flex will be held back in sunny San Jose, CA (8.18-8.20), where it all started. If you haven't checked out one of these conferences yet, you're missing out. Here's the low-down... Tom Ortega and John Wilker are the hosts of the 360 conferences. 360|Flex conferences are the only 3-day, community-focused, all Flex conferences I know about, and I'm pretty sure they're the only show in town when it comes to an all Flex conference. John and Tom are not in this for the money (because I don't think they make any), they're in it for what it does for the community... and it shows.
