Php is now in my basket

vinaypillay — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:06:47 +0000

PHP is something which i always wanted to learn

Today i got it running !!

I used a eclipse IDE to write the php code

I remember those days in magnet when vishal and nirav sir took seminars on php

Surprisingly i am able to recollect all those thing

PHP is pretty easy and makes you more powerful as a flex developer

I am very happy

I need to learn more things in php

I am aiming at smarty and php

I will update you on those very soon

My call to all the new bie Flex developer do get your hands on php[or any server side scripting]

You as a programmer will be in more control of the project

Silver light is cool

vinaypillay — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:22:02 +0000

I am a passionate Flex developer.

I feel Expression blend is catching up too fast

I was personally very comfortable working with it from the word go without any tutorial

also it is integrated with the .net with lot of ease

I think now lot of poaching will be done

I mean flex guy being dragged to silver light and so on…

Silver light still has to go a long way…..

but it better then flex in some aspect like 3d rendering also all the .net guys can learn it much faster

Till now flex rocks

Wrapper Is Responsible For Embedding The Flex Application’s

vinaypillay — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 12:04:07 +0000

What is Wrapper?
The HTML page and JavaScript file are known as the wrapper.

Types of Wrapper?

■custom wrapper

■ Export and customize an HTML wrapper from Flex Builder

■ Generate the HTML wrapper with Flex Data Services.
You can write your own wrapper for your SWF files rather than use the wrapper generated byFlex Builder or Flex Data Services. Your own wrapper can be simple HTML, or it can be aJavaServer Page (JSP), a ColdFusion page, an Active Server Page (ASP), or anything that canreturn HTML that is rendered in your client’s browser. Typically, you integrate wrapper logicinto your website’s HTML templates.

Writing Our Own Wrapper !

The basic wrapper consists of the following:
■ HTML page. This is the file that the client browser requests. It typically defines two
possible experiences (one for users with JavaScript enabled and one for users without
JavaScript enabled). This page also references a separate JavaScript file.
In the provided HTML templates, this file is named index.template.html.
■ JavaScript file. The JavaScript file referenced by the

Singleton Pattern

vinaypillay — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 07:32:49 +0000

What is pattern?

• Patterns = problem/solution pairs in context
• Patterns facilitate reuse of successful
software architectures and design
• Not code reuse
– Instead, solution/strategy reuse
– Sometimes, interface reuse

Singleton Pattern

It’s important for some classes to have
exactly one instance
– Many printers, but only one print spooler
– One file system
– One window manager

Debugging A Flex3 Application

vinaypillay — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:15:32 +0000

I learnt to use debugger tool in a flex online seminar. I was very hesitant in asking this question, as i thought it was very silly and they may not entertain it. To my surprise I got a very good response.Let me explain how u can also use this tool.

To debug an application:

In the Navigator view, select the project to debug. Select the Debug button from the main workbench toolbar. If you project isn’t already built, Flex Builder builds and then runs it in debug mode. Your application appears in your default web browser or the Flash desktop player and you can then use the Flex Builder debugger to interact with it. When a breakpoint is reached, the Flex Debugging perspective is activated in the workbench.

These are the windows available while debugging

1.Variables

2.Breakpoint

3.Expression

To watch a variable:

Select the variables or variable members to watch. Right-click to display the pop-up menu and select Watch. The variables are added to the Expressions view.

To change the value of a variable:

Select the variable to modify. Right-click to display the pop-up menu and select Change Value. The Set Value dialog box appears. Enter the new value and click OK. The variable contains the new value. Modified variables are displayed in red.

Expression:

You use the Expressions view to watch variables you selected in the Variables view and to add and evaluate watch expressions while debugging your applications. While debugging, you can inspect and modify the value of the variables that you selected to watch. You can also add watch expressions, which are code expressions that are evaluated whenever debugging is suspended. Watch expressions are useful for watching variables that may go out of scope when you step into a different function and are therefore not visible in the view.
