Flex is Open Sourced - Heyo!
April 26th, 2007
One more tick on the openess belt for Adobe. The barriers to adoption keep falling for Flash/Flex as an RIA platform. Now for the rampant promotion of 1 pixel swfs from them is all that’s left…but in the meantime.
Adobe is announcing tonight that the Flex SDK will be open sourced under the Mozilla public license, the same license that they open sourced the Action Script VM under (the Tamarin project). The move is just the latest in a trend of an increasingly open ecosystem around Flash and Flex which started with the Tamarin project.
More this from Ryan Stewart.
It’s interesting how they’re doing it progressively with the next release of Flex 3, first bugs then code. I think a lot of developers will be very excited about this. I wonder how this compares to the process went (is going) through. It makes sense from a revenue stand point if they’re only making money off builder and LCDS anyway. Smart move IMO.
“Open source co-creation is a powerful way to build a strong development community,� said James Governor of RedMonk.
I find James’ quote from the press release interesting as I suspect it’s going to be a long time before there is really co-creation of the Flex guts. Mind you I guess Fidelity is writing code for us. But who knows. I’m sure the development community will be able to find some new hacks and tricks with access to the code. I know we will:)

RobotReplay - Add a script to your web pages to record every mouse motion and click that users take on your website. It’s like what Steve Krug says, to design a better experience, just watch your users in action. All RobotReplay needs is a way to surrepti

“RobotReplay - yet another tool to measure how people are using your website. But, this one is actually quite clever. It records the mouse movement for specific sessions allowing you to see exactly how people navigate through your site.” Thomas really wa

Try modeling different types of drop-out within your e-commerce site. You’ll be amazed how much improving conversion by a 1% at any step in the process can affect the bottom line.

Brian’s the newest addition to the clan of Nitobi Ninjas…we’re glad to have him on board. He’s currently the lead on another kick ass web service (think crm-y collab app) that we’re about to set loose as soon as we recover from RR.

Check this out to get an idea of why RobotReplay is so powerful: “You see in high resolution for only a tiny part of your visual field. The remainder is lower resolution and with less color reception. This flash movies simulates, roughly, this reality.”

“:RobotReplay makes 99% of visitor session tracking programs look like yesterday’s news.” Wow - Great Quote:)

The biggest feature for RobotReplay is their use of Ajax to play back visitor actions on the live site as opposed to showing them in a recorded movie format. This cuts down on the amount of storage and bandwidth needed, and enables RobotReplay to offer th
