Smashed Apples by Brian Holmes

Austin Flex User Group

I’m going to be giving a presentation this Wednesday, 5/21/2008, via Connect to the Austin Flex User Group. It will actually be two presentations. The first is a session on debugging from within Flex Builder. I’m going to focus on debugging techniques and also will explore remote debugging with ColdFusion, C# and Java. The second session will be a sneak peak on how you can leverage cloud services with a flex front end using the Smashed Apples framework, but specifically I’m going to be talking about Amazon Web Services and how you can leverage cloud services to make money. That’s always fun!

You can find out more info at: http://www.austinflex.org/.

If you’re in Austin, Texas I hope you can make it.

Become a Visual Studio Test @@#@!

GarethJ is looking for testers to test out the new Visual Studio eXtensibility.

I wasn’t amazed when I saw that. There seems like a general shift in the industry towards rich internet applications. And let’s face it : Testing applications was never sexy. But knowing how hard it is to find good people, you can read more about the job here. ( I’m an equal opportunity job link distributor )

But I have to admit, I did chuckle, especially when I read this part.

Sweet. So the dev team writes the code. The test @@#@! then does all the work. Sounds like a sweet product development plan….. or one of these.
