Virtualization software on Mac

Found an article with benchmarks on the thre solutions for running a an intel mac as a windoze.


In my case the preference would be VMware Fusionm because of its support of directX and 3D. It also looks like the most advanced version of the two (fusion and parallel).

VisDoc - a javaDoc style actionscript document generator


This is a program I've been looking into to document AS2 and AS3 classes. Want to keep this ball up in the air as it might be a useful standard to implement on the flash documentation. Especially for outside coding from freelancers and such.

Essentially, the program makes a index of all the classes within a class library, with they properties, methods and comments. A really nice way to approach code you don't know. Im hoping to do most of the more advanced generic stuff we do here.

Here is a link to an example documentation.

Training

Part of keeping up with our jobs and pushing new ideas is training. Can you please respond to this post with any training you would be interested in attending over the next year. Any ideas welcome from formal training classes to events/conferences to online courses.

Our first post

Hi everyone,
This blog will hopefully serve as an information and discussion forum. It will also link to our wiki where we post links to all of our current and previous work. Anything relevant to our work or interesting upcoming technologies will get posted here along with articles and clippings from events or conferences.

Next upcoming event - Dev Team hack day - mid -Feb. Each member of the Dev team gets 8 hours to produce an application. No rules and no holds barred, but you've got to have an app at the end of the day. Results from the day will be posted here.

So please start contributing!

-John
