The Death of 2Advanced

The Death of 2Advanced

Not so long ago. Flash or any interactive tools were part and parcel of any design PC in the organisation. Initially there were more and more web presence spelled the oath of flash as their ' Brand identity'. Though it's inevitable, ester months ( years !?) have seen these interactive tools constrained either for product demo or corporate presentations.

The situation seems changed quite radically. Though I'm working for Finance to Banking applications, there were only few instances where these interactive tools are bought into action. ( Exception: with regard to Flex, since it's a RIA spearhead.). This interesting scenario was nagging in my mind for quite some time. Is this situation common everywhere ? Or it's prevailing only in the arena where I'm professionally working ?

Nope.Now it's everywhere I believe.

Here's a blogger dares to take a shot on the design phase from Flash to Cascading, keeping a canon on the shoulder of 2Advanced.

Sure you have the sector where a hardcore flash site makes sense as in the movie and game websites, but as for me, as a standard, the flash wave that was seemingly going to be the 'future of the internet' is now taking a shot in the side due to the explosion of CSS, usability, and web standards.

Check this interesting ( somewhere biased, and usability bug bitten ! ;) ) article:

NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX 5700LE AGP

NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX 5700LE AGP

This is my new gizmo powerhouse in my 8 PCI slot : NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX 5700LE AGP. Powered by advanced NVIDIA® technologies including the CineFX™ 2.0 engine, AGP 8X, UltraShadow™ technology, and the ForceWare™ unified software environment.
Though this is a pine made, it's superior in the cadre of any NVIDIA chipset based cards.

I was playing ' Broken arrow ' with sony 16X DVD and creative insipre soon after intalling this AGP. Woow ! thatz the amazing combi I've seen, with a amazing picture clarity and sound performance. That seemed more powerful than Home theatre ( cynic ?! ;).

Reviews boasted that: GeForce FX 5700LE delivers high-performance, cinematic gaming, unmatched features, rock-solid stability, and compatibility with next-generation games, DVD & multimedia display abilities. Ensures that the newest, cutting-edge special effects in applications will run flawlessly. Speeds up content creation so game developers can get their new games out to PC users faster than ever before.

How to use Flex without a server.

How to use Flex without a server.

RIA is a buzzword. So is flex. The one and only latest flash player compatible RIA spearhead from the arsenals of Macromedia. Lazlo caters till Flash player v.05. Being the part and parcel of it in couple of days, I 've realised ther's lot about Flext, to fall in love with.

Not amazing ! Many of my fellow friends asked me the grip of Flex as a widely used development tool and the opportunities it backed with ( ofcourse ! career one's ;) ). I was skeptical, since I was introduced to this great tool as a over night decision of the people who are vested with organisation baton.

Primary concern, while getting alongwith Flex was its adoptability as a mass-developer tool and its pricing, specifically in server based issues.

Btw, this is one nice article which ponders over, using Ant build as an alternative for automated precompiling of Flex applications.

It is also packed with a great tip from Ted Patrick in comments section (_The WebServices and Remoting can be used without the proxy.)
