Adobe Flex development

I`ve decided to get started with PHP Web 2.0 programming myself. For this reason I`ve brought the following book:

This book is an addition to my bookcase because it goes in detail with subjects like SVG, REST, JSON, XQuery and mashups.

To get my Adobe Air and Flex skill up I`ve also grabbed 2 books about it;

The first book gives is a detailled guide to making your own Flex and Air skins with tools like Photoshop, Flash and Fireworks.

The second book tells me how to use Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm in Adobe Flex/Air situations to make my own programs and mashups.

Raphaël 1.0 released

Raphaël 1.0 has been released.

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web.
Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
Raphaël currently supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

Releasenotes are currently unavailable.

Adobe Mars project Prerelease

Adobe released a prerelease of the Mars project.

The Mars Project is an XML friendly representation for PDF documents called PDFXML. PDF, an ISO standard format, is the global standard for trusted, high fidelity electronic documentation. The Mars PDFXML file format incorporates additional standards such as SVG, PNG, JPG, JPG2000, OpenType, Xpath and XML into a ZIP-based document container. The PDFXML plug-ins enable creation and recognition of the PDFXML file format by Adobe Acrobat Professional and reading of PDFXML-format files by Adobe Reader software.

This new release of the PDFXML plug-in and format works with Acrobat and Reader 9. Acrobat 9 specific language additions are fully supported, including PDF Portfolios. The document set and sample files have been updated. Sample applications leveraging Java™ and Adobe AIR are now available.
