Adobe Flex 3 sneak preview“One of the new features is that the Apollo SDK will be integrated in Flex 3 from the beginning on so you don’t have to download a patch to ensure the functionality in Flex anymore. Another great thing in the new version will be, and they listened very good to the users of Flex over at Adobe for this one, is the ability to zoom in the Design View. You can zoom up to 500% (at least in this early build). The datagrid has also improved a lot (this is the one component where Flex users get a lot of problems with), there will be an Advanced DataGrid with support for multiple sorting, merging cells, tree-like structures within the datagrid and some other cool new features.”Adobe Live 2007 in Retrospect“11:00 Designer & Developer workflows: CS3 to Flex (by Martijn de Visser & Owen van dijk)I have to say I wasn’t that impressed by this show. I think both speakers were a little nervous and didn’t really got in the flow of their presentation, especially Owen, who kept mixing the words Flash en Flex up. He did show a nice and quick demo on creating custom Flex components in the Flash IDE and controlling those from within Flex.” Adobe Live: Letter to CEO“Now I am an educator I have the chance to show other ways of doing projects. For some years now I have tried to get us (our educational department) out of the waterfall. But it’s no easy job. For some reason a lot of students, colleagues and clients have a hardwired “waterfall model” and always seem to fall back into 100 page requirement documents. “eXtreme Programming, Flex 3, Apollo, SWX and lots more“This year all theaters were open and definitely not soundproof. Imagine hearing three presentations at once and a load of cacophony!” Flex Builder 3 Sneak Preview“Waldo also announced that some of the Flex components will be optimized and improved. Although Waldo wasn’t really specific here, other than talking about an AdvancedDatagrid component (featuring multiple column selection), I am quite happy about this.”
