Flash Platform Week in Review (Apr 22 – Apr 28)

It’s a short review this week, but I did want to mention a few things I picked up during the week. I should also note that I’ll be at Seattle Mind Camp tomorrow, so if you’re planning on going, send me an email or an IM and let me know. It should be a great time.

Tariq upgraded CFlex.net this week and added the ability for users to post content directly to the site.

Ely Greenfield released a new version of his Fisheye component for Flex. It’s cool to see all of these components. I think there’s potential to build a big community around component development.

Mike Potter had his RIA/PHP Article show up on Devnet this week, so it’s great to see Flex get more exposure.

Speaking of spreading Flex goodness, Jesse Warden presented Flex 2 to FMUG.az and the best part is that you can grab the presentation via Breeze.

Mike Nimer got into the Flex a little bit and blogged about his Flickr, Google mashup which is really cool. I was kind of surprised he didn’t use Yahoo! Maps, but maybe he’ll release a different version.

From the Flash-is-still-fun department, Josh Buhler brings you Super Mario Brothers. I love this game.

In big news, Sony released the PSP firmware update that included Flash and tons of people gave their views. The first one I saw was over at the Flash Forward Site and Marco Casario always has good commentary.

In what may be the coolest news of the week, Darron Schall and Claus Wahlers are working on a C64 Emulator for Flash Player 9. I mean these guys are awesome. Darron has the announcement.

That’s it this week, I hope you all have a good weekend. Keep it Flashy San Diego.
