The &#8220;Architectures You&#8217;ve Always Wondered About&#8221;, &#8220;Non-Relational DBs &#38; Web Oriented Data &#8221; and &#8220;Solution&#8221; tracks aren&#8217;t really my thing and the &#8220;Dev and Ops: A single team&#8221; and &#8220;Software Craftsmanship&#8221; tracks sounded like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ActionScript 3 (AS3) currently provides incomplete support for varardic functions. This is a proposal for improving that support in AS4.
AS3 provides support for &#8220;varargs&#8221; via the use of an ellipsis before the last parameter in either a constructor or method declaration. To put that into simpler terms, consider the following code:

function f&#40;...args&#41;:void

		<description><![CDATA[Signals is a great new ActionScript Framework which offers an alternative to Flex Events. Whilst it has a nice set of features that give it advantages over Flex events, there is one claimed benefit that I find difficult to accept. This selling point, popular with signals fans, is that an interface can specify a signal [...]]]></description>

They are features that I&#8217;d like to see added to a future version of ActionScript, which I&#8217;ve assumed would be called ActionScript 4 (AS4).
This first article is on type inference. So [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent months, there has been a lot of criticism of the reliability of the Flash runtime. One of the keys to reliable software is testing. To that end, Adobe is asking folk to help it make the upcoming flash runtimes (Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0) as reliable as possible. So if you are [...]]]></description>

clunky (kluŋk′ē)
adjective clunkier clunk′·i·er, clunkiest clunk′·i·est

 clumsy or awkward
not stylish or attractive
making a clunking sound

First of all, let me make clear that I have an iPhone and I love it. Secondly, I feel it is stylish and attractive and have never heard it make a clunking sound. By &#8220;clunky&#8221; I mean it is &#8220;clumsy [...]]]></description>

Prior to web development, I&#8217;d not done much else with my career aside from a great many years of C/C++ programming, some lex and yacc work and writing Korn Shell scripts. Then two things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;When is Flash coming to the iPhone?&#8221; seems to be a commonly asked question of Adobe. It&#8217;s clear from the likes of Lee Brimelow that it is a question that causes great consternation within that company. They want Flash on the iPhone, of that there is little doubt. Flash is available on Windows, OS X [...]]]></description>

Beyond these headline features though, there are some nice little enhancements to the developer experience that seem to have been overlooked by most.
