Printable Agile Planning Poker
I recently posted on this blog a French printable translation of the Agile manifesto. With the same idea in mind, I wanted to create my own set of Printable Agile Planning Poker cards. So it's why I have taken some time to release one, all made in the Flash IDE.
The whole card set is published as an A3 format PDF (your printer will scale it to A4 format if needed). There's a page to print for face and another for back. You only need to print the back of the page if you want to better hide the number written on the face of the card. Remember that's important to hide each team member choice upon the card is returned not to influence the choice of any other team member.
If you first need to know or learn what Agile Planning Poker is, you can read the Planning Poker article on Wikipedia.
Les familles des métiers de l’Internet
Je n'aurais jamais imaginé avoir l'occasion de relayer ici une information d'actualité concernant un site gouvernemental. Mais celui-ci vise notre profession et pourrait avoir des conséquences sur le long terme pour nos futures recherche d'emploi. Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, secrétaire d’État à l’Économie numérique a annoncé l'ouverture du portail des métiers de l'Internet.
Le portail a pour vocation de définir les 12 grandes familles des métiers de l'Internet. Chaque famille ouvre sur la définition des métiers qui lui correspondent.
Manifeste Agile imprimable
Cette semaine j'ai eu dans l'idée d'accrocher aux murs de mon bureau un exemplaire du manifeste Agile en français. N'en ayant trouvé aucune traduction décente et présentable dans sa forme prête à l'impression, j'ai décidé d'en créer une moi-même.
Pour ce faire, je me suis aidé de l'article Wikipedia français consacré au manifeste Agile d'un côté (merci aux personnes qui ont pris le temps de le rédiger) et du site officiel en anglais de l'autre.
Identifying a debug or release SWF file at runtime
It may be interesting to know at runtime whether an application is running from a debug or release SWF file. It allows the application to automatically execute debug specific code when the file is a debug SWF file and ignore this code when it is published as a release file.
I can't find any property that indicates whether an application is running from a debug or release SWF file in the Flash Player API reference while searching for it the other day. I hope this solution will help.
There's probably another way to achieve this, but I like this one because it can be written in one line only :
isDebug = new Error().getStackTrace().search(/:[0-9]+]$/m) > -1;
Flex modules with PureMVC pipes simple demo
I worked on this project earlier this year, and I never found time to publish it. But since a month or two, I see that many questions arise on blogs and forums about PureMVC Pipes utility. I think that we need more examples of simple implementation of this utility. That is why I have added an example to the list for those whom wish to have a good start with this utility.
I've made this project for myself to understand the basic of Pipes. My needs were primarily to allow some modules to communicate among them, something that none of the examples I tested show.
You can view a live demo of the project, it has been published with ViewSource activated (on right-click menu).
TortoiseSVN optimization tip
If you work with TortoiseSVN on Windows, you've probably noticed that its process TortoiseSVNCache.exe does a lot of unexpected disk I/O. The reason is that TortoiseSVNCache.exe is used to render icons overlays in Windows Explorer. So each folder and all its sub-folders are, by default, recursively scanned to display their corresponding SVN status icon overlay.
A setting exists to set which folders TortoiseSVN is allowed to scan. You will of course set it to only scan the folders that contain local copies of SVN repositories. As we all know this is often only two or three work folders on the filesystem.
Air apps need a widget mode
It's been a long time that's one of my favorite feature request, but it becomes even more important nowadays as Adobe competitors are already on it.
Note that I do not want AIR to export widgets only, never! What I'm talking about is to have an option to export a sandboxed or normal version of the same AIR app. I'm with you on "launch another application from Air", "USB access" and all others extra system access on normal apps.
Oliver Goldman from Adobe said they would activate the restricted access mode as soon as possible on his blog exactly one year ago:
Some future release of AIR might offer to perform this function for you - that is, restrict the system access of certain applications. With that capability, you might make different decisions about which applications to install.
Mentally make the list of all connected AIR apps you use. Which are those that actually really need to fully access your hard drive to work as intended? A Twitter client or the excellent New York Times AIR reader doesn't need to fully access your file system to work. They only need a sandboxed local storage space and they already have one with the SharedObject. Other solutions as SQLite, application folder, etc ... are needed in my own opinion, but all sandboxed.
We need this more and more hardly because Silverlight 3 will, JavaFX will and now Curl 7.0 has announced that they would do so.
PureMVC for Javascript
I often use PureMVC in my projects. One of its best features is it can be used in all OOP languages. It only needs a specific port for each language. As it lacked a port in Javascript, I found that it would be a good idea to do it myself for the benefice of the PureMVC community. I've so made the PureMVC and EmployeeAdmin demo port to Javascript in November last year.
You can read the original post PureMVC Framework for JavaScript Available from Cliff Hall the author of PureMVC himself on the PureMVC blog.
All source code, libraries and documentation are available on the homepage of the port of the PureMVC website. You can even play with a live demo.
As I have never taken the time to post the news on my own blog to highlight it, you'll have some details here.
E4 SWT Java for Flash: running the demos
Eclipse foundation recently have released Eclipse E4 Milestone 1 with the support of so called ActionScript development environment for SWT. It means that you can now export Java applications for the Flash Player. There is some pretty good instructions to run some demos. I've played with it last night. This post is intended to give you a quick overview of the whole thing with an ActionScript developer point of view.
The installation process is easy. You mainly have to download Eclipse SDK 3.5M4, install some updates, the Adobe Flex SDK 3 and configure the Eclipse environment. It takes less than an hour if you have a good connection and sufficient knowledge of what we are talking about. Just do not forget anything and cross your finger, as the E4/SWT team said: "[..] both the tools and the port are in the pre-alpha stage. You are living on the bleeding edge. Good luck!".
Java JRE version penetration stats with Google Analytics
Some people still use Java applets instead of Flash, Silverlight or Javascript for RIAs. But Sun did not maintain any Java JRE version penetration statistics as Adobe does with Flash. So when you need to explain people that recent Java JRE aren't so widespread they could imagine, you haven't got any good stats to prove it on the Internet. Here is finally jre-analytics, a tool to log Java JRE version penetration stats with Google analytics.
