First Flex 4 book released

The first Flex 4 book (Hello! Flex 4) has just been released this month in the UK. I haven't read it yet, so no way I could give any reviews on it, but from the interwebs, I can see it's contents are really good. A must buy for the festive period.

Date Formatting with Flex

Formatting dates with flex
(Photo: adactio)

I've been working with some Adobe Flex recently, and was having some trouble formatting dates. For those who don't know, here (in th UK) we use the format "dd/mm/yyyy" (Day/Month/Year) as opposed to people over in the States using "mm/dd/yyyy" (Month/Day/Year).

Tip of the day: Regular Expression Generator

I have just came across this very nice service which promises to write Regular Expressions for you.

We all know how painful writing a regular expression can be, and on this website, you can not only have the pattern created for you, but also have it translated into the most common languages on the web.

I've tried it myself, and can say it's pretty darn good, although it's automatic generator gives you a lot of "functional-crap" sometimes, it's good for when you're in a hurry and need to have a pattern up and running, or is not very confident with regexps.

Check it out here

Yet another first Apollo app - Lyric Finder

 

I was going through the blogs and found that I was pretty late in releasing my first Apollo app. So I decided to play around with Apollo and build something. It's a Lyric Finder (I know... very stupid creative name).

It uses lyricwiki as source and some regular expressions to interpret the results. I know there should be an easier way to do that using some sexy webservices, but as I'm still learning the stuff....

And it also helped me to realize that I'm still pretty bad in AS3.

AS3 my own implementation of capFirst()

I'm just studying a little bit of Flex and Action Script 3. Basically to be able to build some tiny gadgets using Apollo.

While building one of them, I came up with the following function:

What it does, is take all the first letters of each word of the string given and return them in upper case. I think I've seen this before somewhere ;-).

Not sure if there's any easier way of doing that, but for my first steps it's just fine.
