Presentation: FreshAir @ Scotch on the Rocks 2008
June 08, 2008 · 1 Comment
For those of you who attended my FreshAir presentation at Scotch on the Rocks, firstly, an apology about the wireless. My presentation was going swimmingly until I hit a problem with the firewall that stopped "json" requests to twitter, which meant that you couldn't see the listing coming through!
I have posted my code here for you to have a look at as well as the presentation itself so you can work your way through it.
Let me know what you think! And I hope at least, problems notwithstanding, that you enjoyed the presentation and found it useful!
Unzip the sample code and use Eclipse's/Aptana Studio's "Import... -> Existing Projects" feature to get it going.

Getting all Scotch'd up this week!
June 02, 2008 · No Comments
Tomorrow I shall be heading to Edinburgh for the fantastic Scotch on the Rocks conference.
I know Andy Allan has been working really hard to get this conference going and last year's event was a real blast!
This year I shall be presenting a couple of topics, ColdSpring: Better Living through Configuration and a new topic which is FreshAIR: Developing Adobe AIR applications using Aptana Studio. This makes a change to my usual CFEclipse presentations and I have been working hard on making them both informative and entertaining (no, no juggling... sorry!)
I am really looking forward to meeting some old friends as well as new ones! So come and say hello!

My first Apollo Application: zoomBrowser
March 21, 2007 · 8 Comments
I had a little play this morning with Apollo and Flex, and I apologize to all you Flexers out there, I haven't as yet had the time to REALLY get into Flex, so all of this is really obvious to you all.
Anyway, I made a little browser implementation, you can load a URL and browse as you normally would, but if you have bad eyesight (as I do at 6 am) its nice to be able to zoom into the web page, hence zoomBrowser!
The code for this is really simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:ApolloApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" height="700" width="800">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function loadURL():void{
htmlBrowser.location = locationBar.text;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTML id="htmlBrowser" right="10" left="10" bottom="30" top="40" scaleX="{zoomSlider.value}" scaleY="{zoomSlider.value}"/>
<mx:HSlider id="zoomSlider" right="10" bottom="10" minimum="0.5" value="1" maximum="3" snapInterval="0.1" liveDragging="true"/>
<mx:TextInput id="locationBar" text="http://" right="59" left="50" top="10" enter="loadURL()"/>
<mx:Button label="Go" id="goButton" right="10" top="10" click="loadURL()"/>
<mx:Label text="URL:" left="10" top="10"/>
<mx:Label text="Zoom:" right="178" bottom="5"/>
</mx:ApolloApplication>
There are two functions, loadURL and zoomBrowser. LoadURL is called either when you press enter in the mx:TextInput field or when you click on the "Go" button. The mx:HTML item is simply bound to the slider and it resizes with the values.
Amazing that you can build such a complicated app (if you think about it) with so few lines of code!
Download and unzip and give it a whirl (you need to download the Apollo runtime from Adobe Labs)
