		<description><![CDATA[With Adobe&#8217;s relegation of Flash to the web sidelines last November, I finally decided that maybe I should take a serious look at JavaScript. One of the first things I discovered was a beautifully simple, elegant and lightweight &#8220;syntactic sugar&#8221; language built on JavaScript called CoffeeScript. So I figured I&#8217;d install the compiler and get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly two years ago, I wrote a post entitled &#8220;JavaScript is a toy language.&#8221; It proved a controversial post, which &#8211; with hindsight &#8211; I should have expected. Two years on, much has changed in the programming world and much has changed with my position on JavaScript. So I thought it time I revisited the [...]]]></description>

A small sample of the Flex user base was invited to attend, but for the rest of us they made recordings of the first day available, and streamed the second day live, which was much better as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is part 2 of a of two-part article about the Try { harder } conference. I&#8217;d recommend reading days 1 &#038; 2 first as this article will likely make more sense that way. After a full day&#8217;s pair programming workshop, day 3 (Wednesday) was a much more normal conference-style day involving a series of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of October, I spent four days at Nottingham Center Parcs at an unusual conference organised by Stray (Lindsey Fallow.) The conference was called &#8220;Try { harder }&#8221; and involved just 16 participants and one guest speaker. As I opted to attend this conference instead of Flash on the Beach (FOTB) this year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ll likely know, if such things interest you, Adobe pretty much succeeded in killing off Flash last week. They made nearly 10% of their staff redundant. They abandoned the Flash player for mobile browsers. They possibly made most of the Flash Pro &#8220;IDE&#8221; team redundant (though what has really happened to that team remains [...]]]></description>

At the time, everyone seemed to want Flash everywhere and were demanding it for the iPhone. Also at the time, HTML5 was languishing in unpopular backwaters of the internet. When the news broke today that Adobe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t like particularly like the Free Software Foundation (FSF). My dislike of them stems from my dislike of the virus-like GPL license that they champion and their &#8211; to my mind at least &#8211; dishonest claim that the GPL is &#8220;free as in freedom&#8221;. Yet despite all this, I believe their latest campaign is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fairly common feature of most object-orientated (OO) languages is the concept of globally accessible functions, which are wrapped up inside classes. In order to make them globally accessible, they&#8217;ll be defined as static methods, or whatever the syntactic equivalent is in the particular OO language in question. In AS3, such a set methods might [...]]]></description>
