After some days of thinking about how to use the biggest wall we have in our office (Activ), we decided to place our certificates and a poster and I think it looks really cool.Here you have some images.
Juice, a new excellent firefox extension
by Alberto González on Nov.04, 2008, under General, New Releases, Tips & Tricks
Today I downloaded this new extension for firefox called Juice.
If you’re one of the people who loves being informed and to know about everything, or almost everything, I can tell you that you need this extension.
Juice allows you to watch news, videos, images, blogs and everything in just one sidebar divided by tabs and buttons. You just have to drag any text from the main browser window to anywhere in the browser and Juice will try to find everything about that text.
You can also save your images and bookmark your favorite videos in Juice.
You should take a look at this new extension.
Best.
Adobe Flex 3 and AIR certification exam now available.
by Alberto González on Nov.01, 2008, under Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, General, New Releases, Training
Well, good news for everyone who was waiting for the new certification in Flex 3 or AIR.
Few days ago Adobe released the ACE certification exam for Flex 3 and AIR (just one exam for both of them) and you can get all the information in certified community at Adobe.com.
The price of the exam is US$ 150 as usual and right now is only available as Certification exam and just in Pearson VUE not re-certification exam.
I don’t really know if there will be re-certification for Flex 3 because it’s an enterprise Technology and because the AIR certification is included in the exam, not just Adobe Flex.
Good luck everybody.

Zend and Adobe ( PHP and Flex )
by Alberto González on Sep.16, 2008, under Adobe Flex, General, New Releases, Technology
There are many people that use to work with Flex in the front layer and Java in the back layer, other people work with Flex and .NET but others usually work with Flex in front end and PHP for back end. I mean, you know that PHP is a very popular language as If you develop web pages / applications you must know at least how PHP works, who hasn’t created a typical mail sender for a contact page in a site?, well, now is time for integrating PHP with Adobe Flex.
Zend Technologies (The PHP Company) made an announcement saying that it’ll be collaborating with Adobe Systems Inc. for a better integration and performance of Flex applications that will be using PHP where one of the key features will be the integration of Action Message Format (AMF) Support in the Zend Framework.
You can read the complete article directly from Zend here and a review from the official flex team here.
I just wanna share this with you people. I’ll be waiting for the changes and improvements between this techs.
Regards.
