Adobe Thermo

At the Web 2.0 Expo Wednesday, Adobe demo’d Thermo, the code name for its new tool for “devsigners” (developer/designers), the people responsible for the look and feel of new Web apps.

Adobe Senior Product Manager Steven Heintz says that traditionally, designers need to create static pages in an app like Photoshop, which they then throw over the wall to the developers. The developers then “cut” the designs into applications. In doing so, the developers also end up doing a lot of user interaction design.

Thermo helps make Photoshop mockups into working demos.

Thermo lets the designers create demo-able dummy apps where they have complete control over typography, scroll bar look and feel, and interaction behaviors like hover and click for all items.

Flex Google Analytics

Sometimes you need to monitor your Flex application and get all the info dealing with the usage of the application.
Surfing the web I found this nice component.

Flex Google Analytics Magic component will now allow you to track all of your Flex Application activities through Google Analytics. The magic is that you only have to write one line of code in your Flex application to enable this if you use this component. The Flex Google Analytics Magic component will automatically track all user navigation clicks, button click, check boxes, radio buttons and a number of other controls within your app automatically.

Nice stuff!!!

Welcome

This is the hello world message of this new blog dedicated to Flex and obviously to the mxml language.
As many of you know is not easy to keep updated a blog today because more or less everybody is busy and full of other stuff to complete.

The intent is to try to publish samples, solutions to common problems and news dealing with Flex and its environment.
