We open sourced the compiler as part of the open source Flex project and it’s probably one of the more interesting parts of the project but it’s always been a little bit of a black box.

I’ll be speaking at the SOAWorld conference in NYC this Monday on using rich Internet applications as service consumers in SOA architecture. As a speaker, I can invite a small number of people to attend it for free (Golden Pass). Just use the coupon code speakerguestVIP (it’s case sensitive) on the following registration page.

Yesterday the AIR 1.1 was released by Adobe. AIR 1.1 is a small release that introduces international support to applications. From a development point of view if you're suing Flex 3 to create the AIR application you need to take some manual steps in order to include support for AIR 1.1.
