Aptana announced Cloud Platform
Aptana have announced their cloud platform initiative, Aptana Cloud.
Aptana Cloud plugs right into your IDE to provide instant deployment, smart synchronization, and seamless migration as you scale. Aptana Cloud is ideal for developers who use scripting languages to create Ajax, Facebook, mySpace and all other sorts of Web applications.
The key is that this isn’t a infrastructure play, which they clearly point out:
Aptana Cloud is architected to complement Cloud infrastructure providers like Amazon, Google, Joyent and others. To get started we’ve selected Joyent who serves up some of the largest of all Facebook apps.
This shows that their platform is designed to go meta, allowing you to deploy to various clouds in the future.
For developers:
- IDE plug-in integrates Cloud development, deployment and management life-cycles right into Aptana Studio in either its standalone or Eclipse based editions
- Instant deployment of projects to Cloud
- One click sync your project to the Cloud, or provide fine grained sync control too
- Integrated service management consoles
- Configure desired memory size and disk size
- Develop and instantly preview remote files right inside your Studio desktop environment
- Subversion source control.
As Ajax developers, the vision of Jaxer in the cloud is very interesting too. The entire application using JavaScript, and deployed up into the cloud, all through the nice IDE.
For developers, the IDE plug-in integrates cloud development, deployment and management lifecycles right into Aptana Studio in either its standalone or Eclipse-based editions, Hakman said. “The ability to deploy stuff to the cloud from Eclipse is part of this as well.”
Other developer features include instant deployment of projects to the cloud; one click can sync your project to the cloud or provide fine-grained sync control; the technology features integrated cloud services management, enables users to provision their cloud right from Aptana Studio, configure desired memory size and disk size, develop and instantly preview remote files right inside the Studio desktop environment, and includes Subversion Source Control.

Enumerating data types in ActionScript 3 (AS3)
Joel Hooks, guy with fascinating background published nice article about data enumeration in ActionScript 3.
In computer programming, an enumerated type is an abstract data type used to model an attribute that has a specific number of options (or identifiers) such as the suit of a playing card (i.e. a Club, Diamond, Heart or Spade). Using this type allows the program to handle the attribute more efficiently than a string while maintaining the readability of the source code.
Forrester Turns Its Back to AJAX
I know, it's not nice and I should behave as if it's not that important to me, but I can't. During the last two and a half years I've been writing, openly speaking, whistle-blowing, and whispering that AJAX is a wrong way to go for developing rich Internet application. But 99% of the software developers were singing hosannas to AJAX. Forrester was selling this 7-page report for $379, while I've written dozens of pages for free. But who am I! Forrester said that AJAX does your body good. The author of that report has published yet another article explaining when it makes sense to use AJAX. But it seems that Forrester is turning 180 degrees now.
Backbase Releases Enterprise AJAX 4.2

Fire Eagle Developer beta
Fire Eagle launched as an invite-only developer beta barely seven weeks ago and is building momentum as we move towards a general release (request an invite at the Fire Eagle home page). On the day FE launched, Marshall Kirkpatrick at ReadWriteWeb wrote: "Standards based platform plus strong privacy equals the best scenario I can imagine for a location tracking service. We'll see what kinds of innovative applications get built on top of it." 
Well, the developer community has responded with enthusiasm and new applications are emerging regularly. If you have an invite, you can already leverage Fire Eagle in a growing gallery of applications including Dopplr, Firebot, Dashboard widgets for OS X (dmg file), Loki toolbar for IE/Firefox, a Movable Type plugin, Navizon, Wikinear, and ZoneTag. Aside from the applications listed in our gallery, many other developer partners have integrated with Fire Eagle or will be integrating soon: Plazes, Outside.in (details here), Lightpole, Rummble, plus many more in the pipeline. If you would like to become a Fire Eagle developer, join the developer group.
Pratique d’ActionScript 3
We really have a premiere this time. Thibault Imbert just released his book “Pratique d’ActionScript 3″ for free.
The story behind this is pretty sad but I have to say this is an awesome move from Thibault. It is about 1000 pages and took more than a year of work.
So if you are French you definitely have to check it out. And do not forget to donate some bucks to support Thibault if the book is useful for you!

ActionScript Optimization notes
by Joa Ebert
This document contains several optimization techniques for ActionScript 3 (AS3). Most of these techniques have been discovered by members of the Adobe Flash community. This paper is a comprehension of existing techniques to achieve faster code execution. There are trivial optimizations that one can follow during daily work and advanced techniques that require more than just basic ActionScript 3 knowledge.

AdobeTechConnection Workshop: Flash Media Server 3, Flex 3 and AIR
Adobe Italy and Comtaste has organized, with the support of FlexGala, the first of a long series of workshop dedicated to Rich Internet Application development. This kind of event is a totally free real training session. In fact we've requested to all partecipants to bring their laptops to follow the day.
In this first meeting we've talked about Flash Media Server 3, Adobe AIR and Flex 3. Matteo and I have taken examples and demos we usually use for Comtaste's training courses about these topics.
People were very interested and we gave the basics to stream a video content using the Flash Media Server 3 and ActionScript 3 (with Flash CS3 as well as Flex Builder 3). 
In the second part of the morning we showed how to export the streaming video on AIR using flash CS3 and Aptana.
Adobe Italy has supported the event offering the possibility to make a raffle for donating a Flip Video Ultra device (it's so coool !).
You'll find all the slides and demo example on FlexGala Adobe user group site.

Rotating 3D Objects with the Tween Class in ActionScript 3
"In this tutorial, we show how to use the AS3 Tween class and its access to the built-in AS3 collection of 'easing' functions to produce interesting rotation effects for 3D objects. To illustrate the idea, we use the following example in which a hexagonal cylinder, drawn at runtime, is being rotated. Our usage of the Tween class is somewhat non-standard. We are tweening a property of an object that does not directly produce a visual change."

Microsoft Live Maps improvements
Microsoft made a major update to Live Maps this week that introduces a number of new features and improvements to the online mapping service. Users of the service can now export their maps in various GPS formats, see improved 3D renderings, and subscribe to RSS feeds for a certain region, among a plethora of other things. The improvements make it a stronger competitor to other popular mapping services (namely Google Maps), although Live Maps could still benefit from more mindshare from the general Internet-using public.

Three reasons to try Flex 3
Tom Ortega II published article about reasons to try Flex 3.
He also highlights new features in Flex 3 that should be of particular interest to developers:
- Open source: Flex 3 is now open source, and Adobe now hosts the Adobe Open Source website. In fact, Adobe has opened up the Flex and Flex Builder bug tracking system to the public, as well as published detailed roadmap information.
- Persistent framework caching: The Flex framework formerly required a 500K download with each installation. Not anymore. You can make Flex 3 applications as small as 50K* when leveraging the new Flash Player cache for Adobe platform components.
- Tighter Adobe Creative Suite 3 integration: Now you can create artwork in the CS3 application of your choice (Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, or Photoshop). Then open Flex and import the artwork into your project and apply it as a skin.
These are not by any means all the new features in Flex 3. There are countless others. If you want to learn more about all the new features, visit the Flex product page.
*50Kb is actually size of empty application skeleton with, in most of the cases, not more than just Hello World functionality. Probably this is why I prefer Aswing when it comes to Real Time Response Applications.

Generating PDF from within a Flex application
Was looking today for PDF generation instrumentation within Flex/ActionScript, found this article: http://christophrooms.com/2007/03/23/lc-ds-25-generating-pdf-from-within-a-flex-application/
Seems like for the moment only "legal" way is to use Life Cycle Data Services from Adobe, although there is another "initiative", almost everybody is familiar with ByteArray.org and their amazing work featuring ASZip, AS3 Gif Player, Mouse Gesture, Live JPEG encoder, WiiFlash and more… AlivePDF is WIP and now it’s in Alpha phase. AlivePDF is AS3 library for PDF creation based on FPDF PHP library.
Check it out at ByteArray.org - AlivePDF 0.1 Alpha Release
