The Value Object Pattern

I been trying to explain to a friend how to use Value Objects to describe data, after a google search returned nothing more than an ancient DevNet article by Branden Hall, I figured I’d better write a quick example.
So the first thing I do is fire up FlexBuilder and create a new project, source […]

Did I miss anything?
It seem like the last few days have been jam packed with tons of exciting stuff.
First from Adobe we have Flex Builder 3 hitting labs.adobe.com there are lots of cool additions to the working environment, some new components, even more integration with Flash custom components, full AIR integration, the ability to hot […]

This is kinda cool, it’s just a shame the browser doesn’t have the Opera rendering engine because the layout is all over the place.

A key quote from the article,
"A developer who said he had limited experience with Flash also sided with Silverlight. "I just think the integration with .Net is going to be big. I'm a .Net developer. It allows me to jump in [to] Silverlight a lot easier,"
But, but, but, but...

New Host

So I signed up for hosting with Dreamhost a while ago, they came recommended from a couple of friends. They work out very cheap for what you get, one of the downsides is that it's shared hosting another is that they don't host co.uk domains.
As a freelancer if you're hosting a lot of little sites [...]

When I first saw the demos of Apollo and the HTML element with it's ability to be manipulated as if it's a MovieClip an idea popped into my mind.
It's taken a while for me to get the time and inclination to play with Apollo, Mike Downey's talk at LFPUG on Tuesday was enough of a [...]
