		<title>Skinning a Flex button with one MXML file (and Degrafa)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skinning a flex button can often take multiple graphics and/or MXML files for each state. Here&#8217;s how to skin a button using MXML and Degrafa to handle three button states with just one file (plus a bonus &#8216;glow&#8217; filter as an alternate way to get a drop shadow).
The secret is to override the updateDisplayList method [...]]]></description>

		<title>Display Rails associations in a Flex DataGridColumn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frameworks like Ruby on Rails and CakePHP make it easy to set up model associations with belongs_to, has_many, and the ever popular has_and_belongs_to_many. However, getting those associations to show up in a Flex DataGridColumn&#8217;s dataField isn&#8217;t immediately obvious, you&#8217;d assume you could just do parent.child or child.parent but that just gives a blank column. After [...]]]></description>

		<title>New job! I&#8217;m now an ActionScript Developer at OpenSoft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After three years of consulting I&#8217;m heading back to a &#8216;real&#8217; job as a Flash/Flex (mostly the latter) developer at OpenSoft (aka Farheap Solutions). It was a tough call but doing full time Flex work a mere 15 minute commute away was too good to pass up.
The blog, which was about 50/50 Ruby/Flex, will probably [...]]]></description>

		<title>Run your web applications on Google&#8217;s infrastructure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google releases App Engine. It&#8217;s Python only for now, but there are rumors more languages (Ruby!) will soon be available.
Here&#8217;s a video intro. And Django runs out of the box (in the box?) - well some parts are missing like no relational db - still you can&#8217;t beat the one line deployment!

		<title>ActionScript MVC minimalist example for PureMVC 2.0.3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve updated Chandima Cumaranatunge&#8217;s excellent PureMVC walk-through to work with the latest version of PureMVC (2.0.3). Although PureMVC has extensive documentation nothing beats a simple demo for wrapping your brain around the framework. The most helpful part of Chandima&#8217;s tutorial is when he steps through the sequence of actions which includes initialization and then following [...]]]></description>
