I have to hand it to the team at MDM.  The version in the labs [...]

This article from the Java Developers Journal brings up an interesting and often mentioned point.

The open-source community has always been able to come up with tools that make using open-ource equivalents compelling. I have seen the tools that allow for rapid development of ColdFusion applications using Flex 2. I have to put the question in the atmosphere. Will there be similar tools for other server side [...]

I’ve enjoyed Head First books.  Wouldn’t it be great if there was a Head First PHP MySQL book…(those who have actively read head first books know what comes next).  It’s true.  I was skimming “Head Rush Ajax”-and I came across “Head First PHP MySQL”  It’s not out yet but they mentioned it so it must [...]

In the midst of my excitement about the productivity enhancements that will be provided by Flex 2 I was asked a question that gave me pause.  “Won’t it make it too easy for those without the skills?”

That’s the bulk of it. I don’t mean to draw it out. I told my job ‘n’ all. I hate that we have a product release in the near future! I managed to get a position in the match at University of Miami. Miami has an excellent telemedicine program-> [...]

I used to think I was bulletproof.  I’ve watched more people die in my 20,s than most people do in their entire life.  In med school I was the one that was able to run the saw to cut the cadavre’s head into quarters when other people got nauseous.
