Adobe Certified Professional (ACP)
Today I became Adobe Certified Professional in Adobe Flex 2.
I have not been developing Adobe Flex 2 for about 1½ year, ever since I did the switch to Adobe Flex 3 already at the first publically available Beta.… and back during the 2.X days then it was only one actual project besides the fun stuff I would do just to play around.
So I guess the major question would be why anyone would want to become certified in Adobe Flex 2 at this point?
Well, seeing that I became accepted into the Adobe Community Expert program, I get free certifications… so my own answer to that question is: why not?
Besides the fact that it’s an interesting experience for me… seeing that it’s a new experience for me to become certified in anything but insanity 
… it’s also beneficial for my company HelloGroup and me in communication with our company’s clients.
Clone Detective for Visual Studio
Clone Detective is a Visual Studio integration that allows you to analyze C# projects for source code that is duplicated somewhere else. Having duplicates can easily lead to inconsistencies and often is an indicator for poorly factored code.

It’s based on ConQAT…
ConQAT (Continuous Quality Assessment Toolkit) is a toolkit for the efficient creation of control centers for the continuous controlling of software quality. Its composition mechanism enables the integration of various quality assessment tools in a flexible manner. ConQAT is not limited to the analysis of source code but can be extended to work on other kinds of development artefacts. It provides tailorable aggregation mechanisms that support the condensation of quality data to generate concise quality reports. These aggregations and ConQAT’s visualization mechanisms are built to enable developers and project managers to track key quality aspects of software projects in an efficient and timely manner.

Seeing that Flex projects get bigger and bigger, teams get bigger and bigger and hence the codebase gets bigger as well, we need tools like this in the ActionScript coding toolsuite… When I get 5 minutes of sparetime, I will look into what it would take to make minor implementation of the duplicate code checker for ActionScript… it should be not too difficult (remembering the beauty of simplicity which I definitely learned the hard way during my first compiler implementation when I was back at University)
Flexool – A Blog engine in Adobe Flex
Mohit Sambhar is currently working on a blog engine in Adobe Flex… codename “Flexool”
It’s up and running now and its going to be interesting to see what comes out of it.
It appears that its SEO enabled so that he has also added the term “Fleximagically Searchable” for Ryan’s Flash SEO contest…
now let’s see if the spiders can index the app.
Anyways… check it out – it’s worth a look…

Google Chrome – The Beta is here…
The Google Chrome Beta is now available for download!
At a quick glance it’s off course fast and tight in its behavior… however, the first fly in the ointment is that an application such as UltraMon is not supported because Google have decided actually to do their own Chrome without support for OS-extensions…
