Found this wonderful TODO/FIXME extension for Flex Builder today that shows TODO/FIXME tasks in the Tasks view -- much like what one gets in the Java perspective. Prior to using this extension, I was leaving all kinds of visual and searchable markers in the code so that I could search for them at a later point of time to finish off tasks or fix issues. But with this extension all that will be a thing of the past! Thanks to Dirk Eismann for this wonderful extension.

Today I was working on refactoring code of a large Flex application. Many files contained lots of imports at the top. I was looking for a quick way to organize my imports. I did vaguely remember that there was on an option somewhere to organize the imports, but couldn't remember where to find it! Did all my right-clicks etc., but just couldnt' see it. I was almost about to move on, but then I found it! In Flex Builder, click on Source > Organize Imports to organize imports alphabetically.

I recently wrote a sample Flex application -- a simple Flex RSS Reader -- using Cairngorm. I find that learning Cairngorm is made easier by looking at simple applications like this one. And the one I wrote earlier -- a simple contact manager. When one looks at how Cairngorm is implemented across multiple applications, one starts seeing common patterns. And that is exactly the point of a framework like Cairngorm.

I've just setup a Google Code project for the sample contact manager application I had written a while back. The contact manager used Flex, Cairngorm framework and ColdFusion backend. The original version of the application was based on Cairngorm .99. I've been working on upgrading the application to Cairngorm 2.2.

Today I was building an application using Cairngorm 2.2. All was going well and I was very happy with the progress I was making. But then, I started facing this error while compiling the application. Unable to resolve a class for ResourceBundle: CairngormMessages From the text of the error it appears that the locale-specific bundle for CairngormMessages is not available/visible.

Just finished my session on Working with Web APIs at Web on the Piste, Queenstown, New Zealand. The presentation was about: What are Web APIs How do they work How to use them Creating a ColdFusion and Flex front-end using Flickr API As with my presentation yesterday on "Introduction to Flex", I had a lot of content, and lots to talk about. The presentation is attached with this blog. It was a light presentation.

I took some pictures at Web on the Piste -- the conference on Rich Internet Technologies -- being held in Queenstown, New Zealand, 2007. Some pictures are on Flickr. And some are on Facebook. We all are sure having fun. You have some too... hic...
