Re: Parallel Mustella runs

Hi, Just find back this thread. I received from Microsoft a free Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN, so, that's include a Windows free Azure account with 1 UC 1 GHz, 768 Mb RAM, I don't know if it's enough to run a part of the tests, keep me in touch once you can run all of them on your VM, I mi

Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

Hi there, just wonder what you think about this forum post of the SpiceFactory forum [1]: "With all due respect, I don't believe Apache did anything good with Flex. They struggle with a lot of internal bureaucracy and I believe that without clear leadership, this "meritocracy" thing just doesn't

Hi there, Just wanted to know if there is a better way to listen for an event in an itemrenderer. I’m working on a mobile app, which uses sqlite database and cairngorm framework. I have a list in my view which has my CustomRenderer.as as it’s itemrenderer. This renderer initially loads bas

Comments in-line... I sort of agree and don't agree at the same time. On 6/27/2013 7:23 AM, Sebastian Mohr wrote: Hi there, just wonder what you think about this forum post of the SpiceFactory forum [1]: "With all due respect, I don't believe Apache did anything good with Flex. I disagre

RE: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

I'm completely with Mike here. There is a hefty amount of work being done there. I'm continually in awe of the work ethic and dedication to the project. As for business realistic driven that's sometimes bosh as it's for the most part driven by a response and thus not proactive aYo www.ayobinitie.c

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

Yeah, I think that post is a bit presumptuous. I don't often interact with the lists, but I do follow them closely. There are problems that do arise, but the overall trend is that there are a lot of people working extremely hard, coding issues, technology issues, and 'political' issues are constant

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

Hi there - has anyone responded on the spicefactory forum to this message (tried to do a search for the message on my phone but failed) On another note I just joined a big firm focused on environmental health and safety standards (ISO stuff) and we recently standardized to Apache Flex for devel

RE: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

Hello, Sebastian Zarzycki here, author of that unfortunate post on spicefactory.org forums. First of all, apologies, if this will not hit the right list or will land in a wrong spot. Last time I've used mailing lists was around '95 and it's definitely not a user-friendly experience to hop in an

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

Strange how things come around. Definitely a surprise to see the poster find this list and reply. First off, you absolutely have the right to voice your opinion. You should never feel like you can't. I hold the freedom of speech and opinion in much higher regard than the possibility of that freedom

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

ah, and on the mailing list bit - I've never been involved in any sort of major OS project that doesn't use mailing lists. Even wordpress uses mailing lists. I'm curious, how is it that you feel they are archaic? I find them extremely useful and quite common among development groups. On Thu, Jun

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

This is probably a matter of personal preference. Developers do many weird things that regular people do not :) developers might still prefer vi over textmate and use sendmail. There might be other advantages I don't know of, but for the average user, this form of communication is troublesome.

perhaps use a google account for your mailing lists by actually logging into the web interface. Google handles lists very well. You rarely have to deal with Re: Re: Re's and 5x indented quotes. It automagickally cuts all that nonsense out and you get a clean and readable stream. I use a client for

@Sebastian No Offense but GWT is probably the best web framework out there. If you really understand what GWT can do for you wil never look to something else. I wrote something about it sometimes ago http://ekambi.blogspot.de/2013/06/why-gwt-is-awesome.html I always said it Flex as it is right

Hi, Thanks for writing and providing more detail. I have the following questions and comments. 1) You recommended we talk to banks and other businesses. I assume you have. Do you have any data you can share with us? I've been pondering how to get reliable data on what, if anything, folks are

Re: Are we "nerd" driven or "business realistic" driven?

@Alex I can share my experience concerning 1) Most of our customers dont want to migrate their app to JS. What they want is an easy way to integrate exiting JS libraries into their Flex app. For example hoe to integrate the JS Google Maps API with their existing Flex apps or How can I integrate m

Hi Sebastian, You quoted the last of 3 posts in that thread. To me, the most important snippet is in the original post where the OP asks: "Jens, if you're still around..." The point of donating Swiz or Parsley or any existing code base to Apache is that at Apache, there are mailing lists that yo
