E4X Parsing Tool

posted on Sep 08, 2008 / tags: flex, software, e4x, air / 0 comments

I’ve been working on a new product that is soon to be released, and I found that I was constantly working on trying to figure out my E4X problems in Flex.  So I wrote up a quick Air app that makes testing a bit easier.  I thought I’d share it… so here you go.

In case you don’t have it, you’ll need to install the Adobe Air runtime.  You can get it here.  I hope someone else out there can use it.  Let me know what you think.

been there, done that… bought the t-shirt

Last week I had the privilege of attending the 360Flex conference in San Jose, California.  I didn’t really know what to expect since I am new to Flex, but it turned out to be a great trip.  I learned a lot about Flex and now my head is filled with ideas that could benefit from this great technology.  Hopefully in the next few days I’ll post some sample code from the conference (Written by Tom Ortega) that I’m adapting to use a HTTPServices written in Ruby on Rails.  Trust me on this one, it’s cool stuff.  I’m sure we’ll all be seeing more of Flex in the near future.

During this trip, I also had the opportunity to visit the Apple Campus in Cupertino, California.  I’m a relatively new Mac user, but I was still really excited to go there.  I did buy the one T-Shirt that I have wanted since I found out that it existed.  It simply says, “I visited the mothership”. 

I visited the mothership.

I love that.  I have to give much credit to the Apple marketing folks because they come up with some great stuff.  I came very close to buying a second shirt:

Cupertino

For those of you who don’t get it, ‘Redmond’ is referring to a certain Company based in Redmond, Washington.  I wish I could come up with stuff like that!
