About a year back I remember reading a blog post called JUnit in 60 seconds. At the time I pondered how great it would be to have these features in Flex. Little did I know that today I would be writing this post introducing the Flex world to FlexUnit 4. Continue Reading
Okay, it has been way to long since I have had the opportunity to post anything of value. So, here are a few classes I wrote called Constructor, Field, Method and Klass. They also use one additional class named MetaData tools. These classes roughly mirror the java.lang.reflect classes. They aren’t Continue Reading

It’s election day here in the United States. Perhaps it is in that spirit of change that I write this post. More likely it is a rant in frustration to developments I am seeing within the Flex community, but here it goes. Here is my fundamental assertion: Anyone who thinks Continue Reading
File this under the better late than never… On September 26 and 27th, the folks who bring you Flex 360, put on a 2 day "Flex Camp" in New Jersery, which went over extremely well. I was presenting on Testing with Fluint (formerly known as DPUint). Of course, I Continue Reading
