What’s wrong with this picture?

 

Thoughtless reliance on FDT’s intellisense (which is generally pretty good)    

+

mental context switching (between Java and AS2.0 code)

And oh yes… added a whole list of useful flex/flash-related rss feeds. You can find it here.

Flex frameworks.. or frameworks for a framework.

Adobe has a nice write-up on various flex frameworks out there, comparing Cairngorm, Mate, and PureMVC.

For our internal project, we’ve settled on Cairngorm. Why? It’s very similar to the structure of our current app plus… well, if you compare the architectures (pg 8 for Cairngorm, pg 11 for Mate and pg 14 for PureMVC), you will notice Cairngorm has 15% less gobblygook than Mate, and a whopping 50% less gobblygook than PureMVC.

JSP 2.0 Quotes

According to JSP 2.0 specification (chapter 1.7 page 72,73)

This code is illegal:
<mytags:tag value="<%= "hi!" %>" />

Instead the correct sentence would be:
<mytags:tag value='<%= "hi!" %>' />
<mytags:tag value="<%= \"hi!\" %>" />
<mytags:tag value='<%= \"name\" %>' />

Can I blame the JSP spec or latest version of Tomcat for strict implementation? Clearly not my fault, right? RIGHT?

Damn it.
