In no way can I claim any of the glory that Marco certainly deserves. But In some small way I am equally as proud to have been Technical Reviewer (thorn in Marco's side :p ) for his book Flex 2 Solutions: Essential Techniques for Flex Developers, Released by Freinds of Ed.

Marco has put a monumental amount of work into this book. Believe me the 900 hundred or more pages that you read are a slim account of the gargantuan task Marco undertook in documenting the extent of the Flex Application Framework.

I can honestly say I it was fantastic to read the original work. The thing that I found even more incredible as I inflicted my nit picking is that this huge technical resource was produced by Marco in English, not his native Italian. I know i would not be up to the task. Congratulations Marco.

Desktop video blogging comes to WordPress thanks to Adobe AIR http://blog.bittube.com/2007/09/26/airpress-desktop-video-blogging-comes-to-wordpress-thanks-to-adobe-air/ http://blog.bittube.com/2007/09/26/airpress-desktop-video-blogging-comes-to-wordpress-thanks-to-adobe-air/#comments Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:30:05 +0000 Dave http://blog.bittube.com/2007/09/26/airpress-desktop-video-blogging-comes-to-wordpress-thanks-to-adobe-air/ The Weblog Tools site has a link to an AIR application aimed at blog authors, its called AirPress. AirPress seems to offer similar functionality to other blogging tools I have seen such as the ScribeFire add-on (used to be called Performancing) for FireFox. The major interesting addition in AirPress is the inclusion of webcam support to allow authors to publish FLV formatted video to there WordPress blog. AirPress still seems to be in an early stage (betr) but could be worth keeping an eye on.

Rather amusingly "AirPress requires Adobe AIR beta (Download Adobe AIR)". Thats a Beta that needs a Beta to run. Beta2
