HTML Editor in Flex?
Andrei Ionescu | 06.08.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

HTML Editor in Flex? Can we say that squarespace has managed to do that? Although isn’t a complex one it is a start. What is next? We can think that in the future Dreamweaver may become a web RIA. Or some other HTML Editors will be created using Flex and AIR.

Three RIA Platforms Compared
Virgil Cristea | 03.02.08 | Permalink | Comment?

As time passes the applications tend to move from thick software to thin web applications and they need to be platform and browser independent.

Virgil Cristea | 07.11.07 | Permalink | 6 Comments

If you ever wondered how can you compare 2 objects (big structure objects that can not be compared by Flex itself using the === operator) in Flex to find out if they are identically the same one of the methods used were to check all their attributes.
