Tiago's Weblog

This week was pretty crazy for me, I had a lot of work to finalize, got 3 new job inquiries for some freelance work and replied to over 130 emails (apart from the business ones). Anyhow I managed to move along with some personal projects. My GA account surprised me a few times when I got over 5000 hits on a single day, thanks to Carlos and a few more bloggers.

All in all it was a great week and I finally got the time to sit back for one hour and read through my 743 unread posts on Google Reader. Here a short list of interesting topics/articles:

- Silverlight vs. Flash, yeh the most known words in the blogosphere by today, who’s going to make the race? I’ve found a well written article/review from Doug looking at a few applications created with Silverlight. Honestly that post was one of those I was waiting for. Doug thanks a bunch for the time you spent writing it.

- FlashEnabledblog.com – Became a top rated source for me, Carlos is doing a great job getting the news and awesome tutorials from all around the web, I know how much time that costs, 2 thumbs up for him.

- Scale nine – As I’m in the middle of a “personal” Flex Project I need to get something funky, nice looking and sexy on my RIA, Scale Nine is the place to go. All you Flex / RIA guys go check it out.

- Rob Adams, wrote a very extensive article on the ADC about the concept of designing a Flex Application.

- Thibault Imbert aka. bytearray.org – Thibault wrote a complete Actionscript 3.0 book (in french) and somehow it didn’t get published, after so many hours of work that is definitely frustrating, from the latest post I can see that he might have a chance to publish it electronically. If someone reads this with a greater knowledge of french then mine, feel free to give me an insight as well.

- Igor Costa, “Lots of Free Icons” – Oh my God… Finally a source which I can really use, Igor posted a whole bunch of freeware Icons to use for your web & RIA apps.

Last but not least I was very happy to see that Benjamin Dobler (www.richapps.de) has been featured at the ADC on the Developer Spotlight. Benjamin is one hell of a crazy dude creating very cool applications using the ByteArray functions in Flex / AIR.
