Flash vs Qt: The next battle?
Both Qt and Flash platform have something in common: a cross-platform runtime environment.
IMHO, Qt could be a Flash killer in the near future.
Adobe introduced Adobe AIR on March, 2007, to provide a cross-platform runtime environment for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be deployed as a desktop application and maybe mobile.
While Adobe AIR developers can benefit of using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax skills to build applications that deploy to the desktop, Qt developers benefits from a successful open source framework, with high performance on embedded, mobile and desktop.
There are some rumors of Adobe Air to mobile phones that could bring ActionScript 3.0, the current robust OOP programming language of Flash to mobile phones but the question is: Will Adobe be able to deliver AIR runtime to mobile phones with the same performance achieved by the trolls?
...and...
Will trolls be able to maintain Qt flexible and scalable with so many deliveries (Maemo, Symbian, Windows, ...)?
It's my point of view, please, comment if you have any ideas or feedback about this.
Turn your web … mobile!
I've been working a lot in some great projects at INdT and have not enough time to make this public. So... What am I looking for making Flyer Framework a cross-platform application running in almost any SO (Windows, Linux, Maemo, S60). Am I crazy?!
Everyone wants to turn mobile devices web enabled but what we are going to reach is turn our web browser a mobile device!
How?! I'm not talking about hardware... I'm talking about USABILITY.
Did anyone think how difficult is to an end user send an application to his mobile device from a web site?! My cousin is 10 years old and he can play very complex 3D games and browse the web like no other but he doesn't know how to download or install a mobile application from a web page to his mobile device.
Providing a feature called "send application by bluetooth" on a web page will help users to send any kind of application direct from a website to a mobile device.
Flyer Framework is a kind of plugin that allows users to use advanced mobile features from any website!
Adobe Flash Lite 4 or Adobe AIR Mobile?! What is coming?!?!
As part of the today's announce of Microsoft Silverlight for Nokia S60/S40 devices and the announce of Google Gears Mobile for Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Mobile 5 and 6, I'm thinking about What is coming on Flash Lite 4?! will Adobe replace Flash Lite for AIR/Flex mobile?!
I'm very confused at this time and I'm going to make some questions for Adobe Mobile Team:
What are the plans for the next Flash Mobile platform?
Are you planning to hearing what developer’s would like to see in Flash Lite 4 or Adobe AIR Mobile?
Are there any efforts from Adobe to porting the Flash Lite Player for Google Android?

Adobe Flex Training at iMedia
Last year I started teaching Adobe Flex at iMedia. Last class was involved with some health problems (stomach) from me but finally we have done the first module! this post is to say thank you for the patience! =D
Why continue?! Because of you! Happy Holidays!
Before the end of year I've already been thinking about the next steps to follow. A great new year is coming in our window... more innovations are coming.. more motivations are helping us to follow ahead... there is no time to stop, there is no way to go back, it's time to reflect and learn the past lessons. It's time to Get up! Stand up! There is a new year coming!

Meet Tamarim-Tracing a new VM for Adobe Flex on Mobile Devices! ActionScript 3 ECMAScript 4!
Edwin Smith announced at google groups an experimental branch of the Tamarin virtual machine. This branch modifies tamarin to use a trace-based optimizer rather than a conventional just-in-time compiler. Trace optimization is a technique which holds promise for optimizing untyped javascript code, and doing so with a small memory footprint.
the branch is available at http://hg.mozilla.org/tamarin-tracing
As Edwin said Tamarin-tracing is a work in progress, however it does build, interpret, trace, passes most regression tests, and does pretty well on small benchmarks! Details about this new open sourced virtual machine can be found bellow:
QVM was written in the Forth programming language because you are create really efficient VMs in 50K of memory runable on just about any device available today. QVM makes AS3 bytecode execute on a majority of devices that consumers already own and is a key part of the future Flash Player and AIR strategies. The open sourcing of QVM will accelerate our device strategy and allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources. - Ted Patrick
I will try to contribute! =D

Gmail: O melhor caminho para encontrar emprego?
Primeiro, gostaria de enfatizar que estou bastante satisfeito com o ambiente de trabalho e o que venho desenvolvendo dentro da i2 tecnologia.

A pouco eu estava a ler aos meus emails, e o mais interessante foi perceber algumas propostas de emprego (inoportunas?), que aparecem constantemente na minha caixa de entrada do Gmail. Inoportunas ou não, será que nossa privacidade pode ser reduzida ao uso gratuito de um serviço? Segundo o próprio Google, essas mensagens são geradas de acordo com as mensagens e o perfil do usuário, mas em momento algum estive a procurar novas oportunidades de emprego... Com isso vale a pena refletir.. Quando é que vale sua privacidade?

Mobile AIR: What Will Be Announced at Adobe MAX?
Via JD:
A little tidbit in coverage of the new "Menlow" chipsets at the Intel Developers Forum: "Intel also trotted out Adobe Senior Vice President Al Ramadan, who pledged support for the Menlow platform via Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR, formerly known as 'Apollo'), which will enable Flash and other media playback on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X platforms. AIR can be seen as a Web 2.0 development platform. Media designed in this environment will run on all three platforms, and look the same whether you are mobile or not. This will be a boon to smart-device users, who won't have to look for 'optimized for Opera, or IE7, or Safari' on their favorite Web sites. The page will come up the same way on your notebook, your Media Center, and your MID." I've seen hints from Kevin Lynch about mobile AIR in the past, but this is the first formal declaration I recall seeing. Hitachi, Fujitsu, LG, NEC, Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung, and Lenovo are among those who will be using the new low-power x86 chips in their upcoming mobile devices.

Tip of Day: Conditional Insert in CF8
It's not a specific CF8 feature but I used it when I was doing the FlexKodersBrazil website.
I thought: How can I insert only one email address in the database without multiple SQL statements? Follow the tip:

Ps: Note the type struct in the argument, I sent a value objects from Flex to Coldfusion Component.
BlueAIR: Adobe AIR integration with Bluetooth
Yesterday I created a simple desktop application with Adobe AIR and Java that allows you to inquiry for devices that are with Bluetooth turned on. The next step is enabled the application to send and receive files and messages over a bluetooth connection.
BlueAIR is a lightweight Adobe AIR application that sends and receive bluetooth messages from mobile devices to desktop or from desktop to mobile devices.
