AXNA Feed Reader
AXNA Feed Reader
Distilled data feed from the Adobe XML News Aggregator!
Pulls relevant data feeds from the Adobe XML News Aggregator (AXNA) at http://feeds.adobe.com/ – an invaluable community resource. This data is distilled into smart categories and present to the user for easy perusal.
I’ve gotten a lot of great info from AXNA – and I’m sure many other souls have gained great knowledge from this resource as well. in creating a demonstration for an upcoming set of lessons on Flash Builder and Flex, I began to see the benefit of making this application available to the community at large.
I do plan on making the source for this available, and also to distribute the app to other platforms aside from Android. This is beta (a few hours work) – but it is a good start.
Grab it from the Android Market
UPDATE:
Here’s a demo video…
Available Now!: Flash Development for Android Cookbook
I’m thrilled to announce that my Flash Development for Android Cookbook is now available to purchase in print and digital formats!
The book contains 372 pages of useful information and solid recipes for developing killer Android applications using Flash Platform technology.
The Flash Development for Android Cookbook enables Flash developers to branch out into Android mobile applications through a set of essential, easily demonstrable recipes. It takes you through the entire development workflow: from setting up a local development environment, to developing and testing your application, to compiling for distribution to the ever-growing Android Market.
There a a number of people I’d like to call attention to and thank for helping make this book a reality:
- Scott Janousek: for providing an excellent forward to the book.
- Fabio Biondi, Sean Moore, and Leonardo Risuleo: for lending a careful set of eyes as technical reviewers.
- Wilson D’souza: for his expert editorial help through the entire process.
- Thanks also to my friends in the Adobe Community Professional, Adobe Education Leader, and wider Flash Platform and mobile development communities!!!
Lastly, special thanks to my wife Leslie Labrecque for putting up with me and these many varied projects… ;)
Please spread the word, buy the book, and drop me a note if it was useful!
Adobe Press: Mobile Development with Flash Professional CS5.5
I’m happy to announce that I’ve undertaken a new authoring project for Adobe Press along with co-author Peter Elst and video2brain! The project is titled Mobile Development with Flash Professional CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 : Learn by Video and is available for preorder on the Adobe Press website and at Amazon.com.
At this point, I’m nearly half-way through recording my video segments for the project and feel as though everything is coming together really nicely. I’m using Flash Professional for most of my segments, although the lessons Peter is working on will cover Flash Builder as well. While the Flash Professional code editor definitely leaves something to be desired after doing so much work with Flash Builder, I’m finding the focus on Flash Pro to be a rather welcome one for myself. I expect recording to be completed during the first week of June.
Anyhow- this makes two major publications so far this year- both of them on topics that I just cannot get enough of!
Note that I’ve set up a page to include information for all my publications over at http://josephlabrecque.com/books/.
