Ok, I finally made some time to get this thing released.

What is it? A graphical organisation chart tool with a search feature. This can easily be run atop your organisational data provided it is in a hierarchical format such as PeopleSoft. The example here uses a PHP based WebService using NuSOAP. It would not take much to hook it into other architectures. hey, you can hire me to do that!

This release sees the addition of the Cairngorm framework, so it can serve as a example of using this.

Future release plans include making the UI pretty! I’m more of a coder than a UI guy, so UI pretties usually come later.

Cheers!

edit: Note, a app as small as this really doesn’t warrant use of Cairngorm. I used it simply to serve as another example.

Ray ‘Jedi’ Camden has done it again. Check it out, following the Flex.org idea, he has used his super-human Jedi skills to whip up coldfusionportal.org.

Such humble beginnings as 16kb of RAM, weighing in at 20lbs, and costing about $1600, eh? The HAL PC, sorry, IBM PC now 25 years old and the root of all that is good, evil, fun, and well, my paycheck! Happy BD PC

The folks over at RedBallon Labs have released a nice set of customtags that can generate a HTML based datagrid from a query in well seconds. This grid can contain filtering tools, pagination, and sorting all within that few seconds of coding. Check it out here

One of the coolest things I like about Flex today is the ability to write your own mutators for a variable. Yeah, this may have been something existing in AS in Flash for sometime, but I’m not a Flash guy. Why would you need such a thing? Maybe you have two or more commands that when complete modify the same variable. If this variable is modified in anyway, you need some other task done. In walks in your custom setter. You can write your own setter method for this variable such that anytime it is set, go do a task.

Here is a basic example:
