(this is a little post about flash)

I’ve been to LFPUG last night and for the first time in a long time, have come back truly inspired. Listening to Aral’s talk about how he wanted to get back into doing fun stuff - hooking up API’s, scraping twitter, creating things without worrying whether you’re doing it using best practices -, really got to me. It was and is still in essence the sole reason for me to be looking into flash. If you want to code, you can off course, but flash is not about best practices, well… not always.. experimenting, creating, building, doing nice, beautiful and fun things.

For the past two weeks, Aral has been working in his secret lab and has come up with SWX, a little loadmovie/swf based data interface. What started with playing with a JSON API to get a twitter app up, ended in what may be the most valuable ‘parseless’ data exchange platform between Flash and server for Flash (Lite especially). I’m getting all excited thinking about it..

I haven’t changed all that much in the past 4 years i just realised
