This week I finished my first couple animations in flash (action script 3). They consisted on tow different charts, a map and a message loop. There is also a xml communication (the parameters came from the xml file).
The learning curve was not bad, probably because I’m already used with the strictness of the language, as I am used to java.
It was a nice first experience, and hopefully I will keep doing more flash stuff.
This is a small post to inform of a friend’s website.
On his website / blog he focuses on showing is free and open source projects.
For the moment he has the very interesting particle simulator written in Java. Is worth to take a look at it.
On today’s web Ajax has played an important role.
If you need something in Ajax, be shure to check this link before you start coding yourself.
You will find everything, from calendars to masked inputs, menus and several other things.
One of the many things that we usually do when creating a webpage is designing tables.
I created a simple php function (to be added to my Utils class), that receives a style name, one array of elements (for the header) and one array of elements (for the body of the table). This way, instead of having to write the table all the time you need one, you just need to invoke the function.
You can download the files included on the rar, decompress it and use it. There is a css file, the main Utils.php file and the test.php file. Fell free to ask any questions you may have, or give any tips for improvements.
Well, after a long time, it seems the revised version of JavaScript is coming.
Although is still in the works, a lot is being promised, and let me tell you, some goodies are on the way 
First, OO is here. Well, yes, we already can, to some level, develop in JavaScript with a OO perspective. However, there are still some things that we cant do, like inheritance. Wait no more, now you can have it and more.
