Great tip! I didn't know about the API. This will help when that tyrannical Mika woman comes around demanding my timesheet. :-P
Congrats Sherwin! Fireworks Fun looks great.
We look forward to having you join the team on Monday.
What would it be like if every service industry worked like IT and interactive design vendor-client relationships?
This video had me simultaneously laughing and crying. Thank you for the link Scott.

Featured Techie: Labels That Talk President Ken Berkun
I first met Ken on TechHui. He was an early member and a frequent participant in our groups and forums. I was intrigued by his company's product, Soundpaper, which encodes audio in high density barcodes. In Japan I frequently see bar codes used to encode URLs that can be read by mobile pho… Continue

Silverlight 3.0 - The First Real Threat to Flex
I just finished reviewing the API docs for Silverlight 3. I'm really impressed with the 3.0 framework. Silverlight has always had good underpinnings including an elegant and clean API, a declarative… Continue

Star Trek Tech Today: 3D Printing
I recently had the chance to spend some time at RAPID Technology's offices in the Executive Center. Prior to my visit I knew very little about the world of 3D printing. I'd heard of it, but assumed 3D printers were still in laboratories at MIT. I was amazed to learn 3D printing is being… Continue

The Three Horse Advanced Web UI Race
During this trip I had the opportunity to chat with a customer about bringing a complex financial desktop application to the web. For this type of application the options we look at are Flex, GWT and Silverlight. All three technologies are capable of producing rich, desktop-like UIs. All are backed by software giants (Adobe, Google and Microsoft respectively.) A good team of deve… Continue

I really liked your file sharing app. Thanks again for inviting me to the GUI meetup, and I hope to come to the next one.

Janice Kato said… - Hi Dan--haven't seen you since we literally nearly bumped into each other in the MIC halls the other day :) I'm embarrassed to say I didn't check my attendance log on this site for the 6/29 Fed Grants Training until now. Thanks for signing up! Please email me at sbir@htdc.org if you need more info on the workshop content, the site or parking. Or you can attend virtually by video stream. (see my update to Conference Event) Thanks!

Brooke Fujita said… - Hey there, Dan...
The presentation in Kyoto went OK, I suppose... Everyone else's presentations were on hardcore R&D projects, very dry. Me? My presentation was a canned slide presentation that was written by a marketing guy, so perhaps I was a bit out of place. I shoulda known something was up when the session chair introduced me as "DR. Brooke Fujita??"
And then I opened with a joke about imagining everyone in the audience wearing nothing but their underwear, and maybe those surgical masks that people in Japan are wearing to combat the spread of H1N1.
...
Man, you coulda heard a pin drop. Tough audience!

- Ah, I am here in Kyoto to give a presentation on the View Search Hokkaido technology project that I worked on last year. It is being featured at the IEEE's ISCE2009 Conference, in a special session for next-generation image-retrieval.
The original presenterschickened out due to the H1N1 flu outbreak, or maybe they were none too comfortable with their English speaking skillshave other engagements, so lucky for them that I was on the project right from the start, eh?

Vern Takebayashi said… - Hello Daniel,
Thanks, we will try to set this up. Should we create a new group, or just participate in an existing one?
I have read about half of Flexible Rails, as I just got it recently. I also just got Flex On Rails (Hillerson, Wanja) and have gone through parts of the first two chapters. I think both books are quite valuable resources. Would you have any recommendations on good Ruby or Rails books? I am going to buy a few books to help my students out, so I would appreciate it if you know of any that you would recommend.
Thanks,
Vern

- Hi Daniel,
Just wanted to let you know that we did finally get our NSF proposal in on May 12th. If that proposal is accepted, we should be able to start up that IT Academy program at HCC.
On a different note, I am supervising a student project this summer that involves Flex and Rails. We are developing an application that will allow our faculty and staff to develop simple Flash tutorials (without knowing Adobe Flex). Earlier this year, I developed an application using PHP that would allow the user to fill in a series of textareas and select lists to gather information for a simple tutorial (explanatory paragraphs and nongraded multiple choice questions). The tutorial consists of a Flash file that uses a ViewStack to navigate between the pages. (I have some simple examples on one of my webpages: http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/~vern/tutorials.html). After demoing the PHP application, I was able to get a small grant to fund this student project. Instead of PHP, we are going to use a Flex frontend, and store the tutorial information using a Rails (MySQL or PostgreSQL) backend.
We have just started. My students have varying levels of experience. So, I have just gone into some simple Rails examples, and am just starting going into Ruby (enough so they can understand more about how Rails can be modified). After that, I am going to teach the students how to create a Flex front end for a simple Rails-driven database.
I noticed that there are several groups on TechHui that could be related to our project (Flex, Rails Hackers, Ruby Developers). I was thinking of having my students start making some posts here (to show what we are learning and/or to get some feedback). What do you think of that idea?
