Blog post now up over at Boagworld discussing our first foray in to the world of Adobe AIR. Would be great to hear any feedback, both on the app and the article itself. So please do let me know your thoughts.
We're aware of a few little tweaks that could be made and minor bugs that could be fixed but I encourage anyone using it to take a look into their 'Program Files\Sitewatcher' folder to check out how it was made. Hopefully doing so will add to the article and possibly enable you to add your own customisations, I'd love to hear about them.
Dave has already blogged about the app and we tried to pitch the boagworld post at AIR first timers, to give you a feel as to how easy it is to use and what you can achieve. Hopefully the post has whetted your appetite.
Check out the above links for some good beginners references for AIR.
You may not know this but this blog has been xml based since its inception (in fact there's a longstanding, not yet achieved, task to 'replace' it with a 'better' persistant storage mechanism -- clearly I must agree then, that the perfect is the enemy of the good). But anyway... don't worry. I'm not about to do anotherblogaboutxml.
While reading a book the other day (C# in depth if you're interested... I'd recommend it to all you .net lovers out there.. yes you.. both of you) I suddenly realised something. I was holding a book.
Part of my role at Headscape has included looking at our development processes/practices. There's a blog in this (and it's coming soon), but as a brief teaser to that:
So we're here... just, but with far less man points than we started... to be fair I think I've lost out to Ryan on this one
Year in review and resolution posts may seem a bit passe, cliche and anything else that ends in an 'e' that sounds like an 'a'... but let's get one out of our (my) system anyway.
