Word in the twitterverse is that Adobe gave their evangelists some new toys today. Yes, that’s right, the HTC Nexus One with Flash Player 10.1 beta! When will the rest of us see this beta? Hopefully, very soon.

Please RT: Apple iPad – No Flash Player? #FuckTheIpad
| By Rich Tretola | January 27, 2010 | 2,380 views |
Seriously Apple, how can you claim in your video (http://www.apple.com/ipad/) that the iPad delivers the best possible web browsing experience and not have support for the Flash Player? Hell even the image I link to below is arrogantly named “best_experience_20100127.png. It all goes back to the points I made in my post titled Appleās greed to only help Adobe with Mobile Flash Player from back in October.

Google, bring on the Android gPad please!
The twitterverse is revolting! I have seen many tweets over the last few hours including the #FuckTheIpad hashtag

F3 v. F4: Repeater v DataGroup
| By Rich Tretola | January 11, 2010 | 1,801 views |
Ah, good old repeaters. Well if you have used repeaters in the past you are more likely to say, good riddance Mr. repeater. Repeaters were not only pretty heavy components, but also just a general pain in the butt. So, what does Flex 4 have to help us? DataGroups!
The following examples both use the data below:
1 2 3 4 | userData = new ArrayCollection(); userData.addItem({"fname":"Rich","lname":"Tretola"}); userData.addItem({"fname":"Joe","lname":"Smith"}); userData.addItem({"fname":"Bill","lname":"Johnson"}); |
The Flex 3 example uses a Repeater and custom component named PersonRenderer. The code for each is shown below:
Repeater in main application file (Flex 3)
1 2 3 4 5 | <mx:VBox horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"> <mx:Repeater id="rep" dataProvider="{userData}"> <local:PersonRenderer person="{rep.currentItem}"/> </mx:Repeater> </mx:VBox> |
PersonRenderer component (Flex 3)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] public var person:Object; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label text="{person.fname} {person.lname}"/> </mx:HBox> |

The Flex 4 example uses a DataGroup and ItemRenderer named PersonRenderer. The code for each is shown below:
DataGroup in main application file (Flex 4)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <s:DataGroup itemRenderer="PersonRenderer" dataProvider="{userData}" verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout/> </s:layout> </s:DataGroup> |
PersonRenderer ItemRenderer (Flex 4)
1 2 3 4 5 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"> <s:Label text="{data.fname} {data.lname}"/> </s:ItemRenderer> |
