Last Thursday, my coworkers and I attended Free Full Day Training for Flex/AIR/Flash! conference locally at Vancouver SFU Harbour Centre campus. Thank you everyone for making such event happen.
Download: VancouverRIADay.pdf here!
There are 26 step by step labs in the PDF that will turn you into a Flex developer in a snap! :)
Today when I tried to access adobe’s livedoc…
Yikes?! ;)
Today I found this gem from dzone.com…
Very First Steps in Flex
Rich Internet Applications and Flex are taking off. Many developers need to learn Flex fast. This refcard will help readers get started learning Flex. Firstly, a simple “Hello, World” application which will help familiarize readers with the Flex Builder tool and programming model. Secondly, we'll go into depth about how to connect Flex applications to back-end data through RESTful XML and SOAP. And lastly, “Remoting and Messaging with Java” walks through how to easily connect to a Java back-end with the open source BlazeDS product.
Features include Hello, World, Web Services, Remoting and Messaging with Java, Hot Tips and more.
I think it is nice.
Today I finally tried using <cfxml> for the first time. However, when I tried using an element from the xml, it always have an empty space in front. Hmm…
<cfoutput>’#value#’</cfoutput>
At first I thought it is some CF quirks, so I tried
<cfprocessingdirective suppressWhiteSpace=”true”>
but the white space is still there somehow…
Then I tried putting a Trim() around the value, but the white space still there!!! What!?
Finally, I highlight the non-removable space, right-click, “view selection source” in Firefox, and THERE IT IS!
‘<myElement>xxx</myElement>’
Lesson learned. I needed to reference myElement.XmlText to get ‘xxx’.
If <cfdump> does a HtmlEditFormat() for the browser output… I guess I’ll have nothing to blog about today. :)
No, my blog is not hacked by a Chinese worm. :) The title of this entry is a famous Chinese proverb about learning. It is frequently used to encourage students to keep learning.
English translation of the proverb:
Learning is like travelling on a little boat against the current. You either go forward (by working/paddling hard), or you will be pushed backward.
So moving forward, my goal this year is to learn:
Looking back, what have I learned last year?
Let’s keep learning everyone! :)
