For all those who are worried about the future of Flex, Flash and ActionScript must read the articles listed below:
Why people are moving from JAVA to FLEX:
Part 1: We are moving from JAVA to Flex
Part 2: Important Differences between JAVA and AS3
Part 3: Beginning the Actual Port
Part 4: Anonymous Classes and the Adapter Pattern
Part 5: Network Communication
Flash CS4 still uses AS3
ActionScript 3 and EcmaScript 4
Hoping, these articles have somehow helped you to see some light at the end of the tunnel. And at the same time got you motivated to learn more about Flex and ActionScript :)
Just a few weeks back when I was having coffee with my GANG in our office pantry, I received a call from someone (I don't even remember) inviting me to attend some training on Flash ActionScript. And I was like when will someone invite me to CONDUCT some training on Flash ActionScript. That is when Nitin asked me if I'd be interested in taking up a Flash ActionScript Training in our office itself. And this came to me as an offer I could not refuse.
This training gave me an opportunity to pull up my socks and get cracking. I got the course outline for the training to be conducted. And I utilized my vacation time to read n read stuff on AS3 so that I could get myself well acquainted for the training as per the guideline provided.
Having completed one batch of Flash ActionScript 3 training, I can very well say that just working on projects is not enough. There are times when we need to interact with our community and that is when we come to know where we stand. I got this good opportunity to meet Venkat and Vijay. Meeting them actually gave me the required push to dive deeper into ActionScript. Both are extremely knowledgeable guys and interacting with them made me realize that there is so much for me to learn. And for me this training is just the beginning.
Overall the feedback has been good and currently I am planning to come up with 2 more training modules:
1. Creating Components in AS3
2. RIA development using Flex
To sum up I can say, working on projects helps you grow vertically (and much deeper) on a particular subject and knowledge sharing, interaction on that subject helps you grow horizontally. As in, it adds more breadth to your knowledge base. So keep learning and keep sharing :)
SUMO PAINTS - PAINT UR IMAGINATION ONLINE
Of all the image editing tools available online this one stands apart. And the reason being:
1. Its for free. So you need to make any quick image edits, just visit this site, load the image from you computer and start editing them.
2. The User Interface (UI) of this tool is based on Photoshop GUI (but more simpler) and it has lot of features similar to Photoshop.
3. Plus they have introduced many a new features which is not even there in Photoshop.
These guys at Sumo Paints have really worked hard and it shows.

These watches are undoubtedly futuristic. And it requires a real smart ass to crack the time on these watches..
Lemme help you crack the time on few of their watches:
Each vertical Green Led indicates 1 hour: 3 x 1 = 3 hrs
Each Red dots indicates 1 hour: 12 x 1 = 12 hrs
The Outer Ring indicate hours: 9 dots = 9 hrs
Time on watch: 4hrs and 26 mins
With so many buzz words like like Twitter, Web 2.0, RSS, Wikis, WordPress, PodCast, Delicious etc. making the rounds of Internet it has become increasingly difficult to keep pace with whats happening around. How do one understand them and use it to their own benefit.
There is a different world altogether with people using these technologies and have benefited from it. But for us its still a new word, a new technology, a new concept.
Well to make these concepts simple we have instructional videos posted by some really intellectual people with an open heart.
You can view these videos at:
DotSub.com
TeacherTube.com
Most of the videos are posted by CommonCraft guys.
There is youtube too which is widely popular. But the above sites focuses more or teaching.
If there are more sites which you guys have come across then lemme know and I'll update my post accordingly.
