This is the fourth edition of the series “Learning Web Technologies with Sri”. In First edition or part, we did learn about Networks & in Second edition or part, we did learn about Servers with differences between Application & Web Server. In Third edition or part, we did learn about word INTERNET, what is it etc.. Now lets learn about topic which makes Internet world beautiful. Web is nothing but an information document which is well formatted and made it available to world through internet. These documents are beautified, delivered, created, edited, or deleted using many technologies or languages. One among these is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. They accompany each other generally and work together to make web document more understandable, usable and helpful. If you see one way HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT is all about separating content, presentation & model/controlling the web document. As each one of them is quiet a big topic to cover, I will start with basics and move till intermediate level in topics and try to cover as much as possible, from there on I guess internet/books etc.. are resources for you to learn more. With that said, without further more delay let’s learn about these things.

RIAPress is my first Mac OSX App. This is a utility app which works similarly to normal web browser. Normal web browser would have Ads, Flash Content, Popups distracting the actual content reading, but this App doesn’t support any of these hence giving you a Ads Free, Pop Up free content reading experience.

Thanks & Regards, Srinivas

Working with AIR Native Extensions on the Mac

Prior to Adobe AIR 3, only Adobe could add core features to the runtime. Developers requiring new features could only wait. Now developers can extend the runtime themselves. This new capability allows developers to:

Achieve deeper integration with target devices
Incorporate legacy native code in their application
Achieve maximum performance for critical code

With that said, lot of articles are available on web which explains how to build AIR Native extensions, the below are few among populars

Oliver Goldman has nice explanation of ANE in his article in Adobe Developer Network.
In Nick’s blog you will find good article on developing ANE on Windows using CDT & MinGW. He also has an article on developing ANE on Mac.
You can find popular ANE’s in adobe site.
Daniel Koestler has good article on developing ANE for Android.

Even though lot of these article should help you run through samples, understand how ANE works, issues would arrise when you try to build these samples from scratch by yourselves, especially in Mac platform. I guess the problem is with the steps we follow to build ANE’s. Each of those samples, articles we follow sometimes works for particular version of editor, SDK’s etc.. With that said this post should help you build ANE for Mac using Xcode with ease. I have followed the same steps which I am going to explain here & tested on Snow Leopard & Lion with Xcode 4.2.x as well as Xcode 4.3.x, and it works great.

Hi Folks,

This Article/Post is in follow with my previous article on MyEclipse Flex Builder Integration - Installation Steps for Flex Builder Plugin in MyEclipse. Some of the folks, who went through the article, applauded & I was little esteemed by seeing my first article being published in MyEclipse news letter of Jan 2009. Thank you MyEclipse team for recognition given by you folks. Keep up the Good Work. Saying this let me tell you the motto behind writing this article. After seeing the article, many of my Indian Developer folks, went through steps & were able to setup the MyEclipse with Flex Builder Plugin. After that, some of the folks did try to use BlazeDS on top of Tomcat which comes with MyEclipse. Some of them have failed to integrate, either because of the steps followed or because of the confusion involved in the steps of integrating the Flex Builder & MyEclipse together. So to resolve all doubts, issues faced, I was forced to write this article, which basically explains step by step procedure of deploying BlazeDS on Tomcat server in MyEclipse & also configuring Flex Project to work along with it. I will try to make it as simple as possible. As in my previous article, here too I will try to upload a small video & also explain step by step in words along with the help of snapshots.

Installation Steps for Flex Builder Plugin in MyEclipse

It’s been very long time now the Flex being introduced by Adobe into the market. As all of us know from version 2, Flex Builder was built on Eclipse. Adobe has done well in coming up with idea of two installers, one being a standalone installer & the other being the one which allows you to pick the eclipse folder and install the builder using existing Eclipse on the System.

Even though adobe has done good job, there are few popular Eclipse versions or distributions which they customize in suchway that it might not be suitable for updating Eclipse with Flex Builder. RAD, RSA from IBM and MyEclipse are few examples to mention here. There are few technotes in Adobe site which explains about how to resolve few issues which might occur while updating existing Eclipse distribution with Flex Builder. I believe going through them will help you guys to understand and use them wisely too. This post will explain the step by step process of updating the existing MyEclipse distribution with Flex Builder.
