How do you set up your Flex project? (October 11, 2007 1:20 PM)

...all of the generic Flex functionality inside a Flex Library project. I use a Flex, or AIR, project as a 'wrapper' to the Flex Library to allow for easy deployment in either environment. Backend components go in another Eclipse Projects (often with CFEclipse). Each section of the application will have a separate repository directory with its' own trunk, branches, and tags. The whole purpose of encapsulation is that you change the implementation details without changing the interface; so it is ent...

Project of the Month: CFEclipse (May 1, 2007 1:19 PM)

The general idea of the Project of the Month is to donate some money to an open source project and write a blog post about it.

Class methods in .NET are equivalent to CFCs? (May 24, 2006 11:49 PM)

...s. The really cool thing about VS.NET is the Intellisense (AKA Code Insight) for objects. Create an object, type the object name, and you recieve a list of all properties methods on that object. I'd love to see this type of 'code insight' in CFEclipse or Dreamweaver. ( If memory serves me, I think I read somewhere that it might go into a future CFEclipse update) * In the book.cs file, a 'Getbooks" method is created that gets all books from the database. Normally I would keep all methods in

Is CFEclipse being updated? (May 7, 2006 11:27 AM)

...) or one of my books. If one person asked, perhaps someone else had the same question. So, I figure I'll start posting these questions and responses here. ( Not much different than Rays "Ask the Jedi" series ). I was recently asked about CFEclipse, after someone read my "Making the Switch to CFEclipse" article in CFDJ. I have a concern when I browse to http://www.cfeclipse.org. The site looks unmanaged and not recently updated. The latest build is now 9 months old. Their site gives me ...

CFDJ - March Making the Switch to CFEclipse (May 4, 2006 9:53 AM)

My March article for CFDJ has hit the web. I talk about my experiences using CFEclipse. Making the switch to cfeclipse. I modeled this article after my Dreamweaver article from many moons ago, and therefore purposely covered a lot of the same topics on the different programs. The CFDJ e-publishing schedule is confusing me a bit. I get routine e-mails, but I'm under the impression that some of them are "The digital version of the magazine" while others are just a random collection of news-b...

CFEclipse and Flex Builder 2 (April 13, 2006 1:30 PM)

I just installed Flex Builder 2 as a plugin to Eclipse. Previously I was using it as stand-alone. That means it sits along side CFEclipse in the same IDE editor. I must say, this is a big improvement over what I did yesterday ( with two IDEs opened side by side). Although, it does look like I need separate projects for CF vs Flex. The ability to create a combined project that uses both technologies would be nice. I've been experimenting with creating Flex 2 components (It seems like a natur...
