There is an older article on this blog about PhoneGap/Cordova templates for VueJS with Framework7 from January 2017, so I thought it’s time for an update since a lot has happened after one year. F7 had a major upgrade to V2 so all templates had to be brought up to date as well. These are […]
The video recording of my talk at Adobe PGDay EU 2017 is online! :D Thanks to the PhoneGap team for making this available! Make sure to also check out all the other videos from the conference in the playlist below: Building PhoneGap apps with Vue.js and Framework7 Full playlist of the conference
Yay! I just got my CS5 Master Collection (Educational-version)! Before I bought it, I checked on some infos you might want to know. For example, I was curious if I was allowed to keep the suite even if I am not a student any more and if I may use it for commercial purposes. The […]
Here we have an interesting Flash2HTML5 converter which seems to work up to (parts of) Flash8. Check out smokescreen.us for demos and more info (Thanks to Antonio for the link). Seems like it works pretty decently regarding movies and animations but I wonder if “real” applications would work with it, like for example such which […]
Around two years ago, I wrote a little article about OpenLaszlo, a promising RIA framework, for richability.com in which I compared it to Adobe’s Flex platform. Since a lot of time has passed and many things changed since then, I think it’s time for an updated sight on this technology. Back in the days when […]
A very exciting and promising project called Lightspark has reached beta-stadium. Lightspark is a 3rd-party implementation of Adobe’s Flash Player, written by Alessandro Pignotti and entirely created from scratch using the open specification of the Flash-format SWF. No reverse-engineering was done. It is being said, that even hardware-acceleration is supported using OpenGL. Lightspark is claimed […]
I am currently writing my diploma thesis at the University of Ulm on performance issues regarding Rich Internet Application technologies like Adobe Flash/Flex, JavaFX, Silverlight and various JavaScript solutions. (Update: It’s done! :-) ) I started back in December when I first noticed that Adobe’s Flash Player seriously has some performance issues. It always was […]
I think, I already mentioned that I really like Adobe’s products for creating animations and rich internet applications, which are namely Flash Professional, Flash Builder, Catalyst and Illustrator. What I don’t like is the target platform: The Flash Player. So, after all these debates about Flash, isn’t it time to simply drop the Flash Player […]
If your Flex/Flash Builder has suddenly problems connecting to your Flash debugger, you might be using Google Chrome. It seems like Google started bundling the Flash Player together with Chrome, which has an automatic updating engine (in the background) and thus you probably didn’t notice the update. This integrated version of Flash Player is the […]
Note: This is not a posting about introducing Gordon. This article describes a concept of automatically porting the Flash Player to JavaScript in a generic way, based on the idea of Gordon and Adobe Alchemy. You might know Gordon, an experimental attempt of implementing the Flash Player runtime environment, completely written in JavaScript (by Tobey […]
