Microsoft Office 14 and Silverlight

Categorias relacionadas: Notícias, RIA

On the second PDC 2008 day, Microsoft has announced that the new Microsoft Office 14 will come with a built-in Silverlight Web version. It’s probably a “compact” Office version, but nobody knows it for sure yet.

Microsoft announced the web version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, and we can also expect that all those applications will run on any operational system with Silverlight support. What do you think about it? Check out some screenshots here.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that other web application developers have to worry about, because people hardly change from Microsoft Office to a very limited office web application, like Google Docs.

How to drasticly increase performance of Firefox 3

Categorias relacionadas: English, Linux, Optimization,

Seems that FF3 has a slight problem with cache handling due to anti-phishing algorythms. I found this somewhere on the net, and it really works.

Go to FF preferences -> Security and un-check 2nd and 3rd checkbox,
“Tell me if …”

Close preferences and close Firefox.
Go to your users settings where firefox keeps it’s files for the account. I Windows should be somewhere in “Application Data”, I am not sure, but for Linux, open terminal and write
#> cd .mozilla/firefox
and enter in tou your account directory (should be something like “of6wel65.default”) , name is pretty random.

- Delete files urlclassif*.sqlite
- Start firefox.

that is it.

TreeCollection component

Categorias relacionadas: (No Category), Flex, Flex Components

There is a case when one needs to make a structural representation of data which resides in a single table, with records referenced to one another. This is not difficult to make, but sometimes people just doesn't have time.

I had small table with linked records, that I had to represent structurally. Table was something like:

CODE:
  1. 1, "Father node", 0
  2. 2, "Child node", 1

where record Id 2, links to record Id 1,  by third field.

I have found a component on the internet from Singapore Flex Usergroup, but it didn't worked for my case as I needed to.
So I took the liberty to alter the component and share it.

D-Click developers already have this component set in flex_library.

You may download small Flex3 demo application along with the component from following link:
