I just got a chance to play a little bit with the latest version of Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich (API 15), and I can tell you, it has all that you want in your Android. Lots of lack features are now present and I fell a lot more comfortable to work with it now.

Dive Into HTML5
An amazing book about HTML5 for free, can you believe it? Go right now to diveintohtml5.org to learn about the HTML history, new HTML5 tags and much more.
WHATWG Community
The WHATWG group is the one who is creating the HTML5 specs. There’s a lot of useful information about HTML5 specs, a blog that you definitely should read, demos, etc.
Hi folks! In this tutorial series we’ll build a simple Frogger game for Google Android. You will see how to setup an Android application, how to create menus, the life cycle of a process in Android, how to work with graphics, how to work with sounds and much more!
In this first part we’ll setup our application and create the first screen of our game: the menu screen. I’ll use Eclipse as a IDE for this tutorial since it provide many tools and is really simple to develop with it, but you can use whatever other IDE you want.
The wonderful OOP world! Every little tiny thing organized on it’s place. Imagine classes, packages, interfaces, objects… everything at your hands. What?! This world isn’t a beauty for you?
Well, if you don’t know OOP, this world will look like to you more like a nightmare. But don’t worry, the primary objective of this text is show you how great this world is, and how is easy to live on it.
You can think that this title is funny, because the subject seems to be simple and basic, but believe me, there is a lot of people that has doubts about how comment the code, a lot of people that don’t use (and them should) the comments, some people that doesn’t know what it is or never seen.
If you fit into one of the profiles above, or not, you can be interested on the utility that the code comments have to us, programmers.
Believe or not, we can consider the comments like one of our best friends when the subject is programming. A comment has the objective of documenting the wrote code, so that in the future you know what that code does, and why it does. And it helps on the code viewing too.
We can think that doesn’t has need to comment a code, because at the moment that we are writing the code, everything is clear and fresh on our mind. But the problem comes my friend, when after some months, you have to do “some updates” in the code.
What you see is a tangle of words, and it’s really complicated to find something there. And if you find what you want… you don’t know how it works, because the code is very large and you will expend hours trying to figure out where you have to edit, or because it doesn’t explains itself enough.
That is where our friend comes. If the code is well commented, the viewing will be better (because the code isn’t squeezed) and you will have an explanation of what that piece of code do.
There is three types of comments in most languages: line comment, multi-line comment, and the last, asdoc, similar to javadoc.
This is my first ExpressionEngine extension. I’ve created this, because I needed some features on the control panel, that don’t come with the original version. The list of the new features added by this extension:
- Nested Weblogs
- Now you can set the show order of the Weblogs
- You can enable/disable a Weblog
- FCK support
I saw some people asking about it, so… here’s the answer.
In the AS3, when you need to know if the mouse leaves the Stage, you just have to add the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE to it.
UPDATE: I’ve created an example, so you can see how it works.
I found a little problem on Flex DateChooser component. When you try to select the date 10/12/2008, the value of the selectedDate of the component is Sat Oct 11. If you try to set the selectedDate to 10/12/2008, the component will show the day 11 again! Don’t try to change the date of your system to day 12, this doesn’t work too. :)
I’m trying to find a way to fix it, if you have a solution to this problem, please tell me.
UPDATE: The problem is with the GTM, I set the GMT to 0000 on my system and the problem simply disappeared. I think there’s a little bug on the Date class, because when you show the selected date on the component, it shows a different GMT for the day 11.
Launched the new Flash Player, still in beta version, with new features and some bug corrections. The new Flash Player is available to Windows, Mac and Linux.
Download Flahs Player 10 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
See the release notes for details: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#features
If, like me, you always dreamed of migrating your Flash applications to desktop, now there is a solution. In fact, some solutions already existed, such as Zinc. But, it was very difficult to use, since you had to compile your Flash application, and then generate the executable file with Zinc, to run it in the desktop.
Imagine now what it would be like to make this process a lot of times, for each test of your application. It seems hard, right?
Fortunately, Adobe launched its own solution, which allow us, developers, to create Flash, Flex or HTML/JavaScript applications that run in desktop on the AIR plataform.
