		<title>Refactoring, Error #1065</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received the following runtime error in a flex project recently:
Error #1065 Variable package::Component_inlineComponent1 is not defined.
I was refactoring away from some static MXML to a dynamically loaded module. I had commented out the static MXML to test the dynamic module.  Everything worked great.  When I un-commented the previously working static module the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revisiting one of my first RIAs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent some time updating on of my *first* RIAs today.  

The application allows special needs teachers to create IEPs (Individual Education Plans) for students.  The teachers fill out various (20+) forms that compose the students&#8217; IEPs.  
During the initial interviews, it was identified that the forms would be revised annually and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Source ESBs - It&#8217;s Here !!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was excited to find an unexpected package on my doorstep last weekend.  I had enrolled in Manning&#8217;s early access to Open Source ESBs quite a while ago (last year???).  Well the books in print and I&#8217;ve got my copy in hand.  
I&#8217;m currently reading this book right now and loving it!!. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Data Warehouse Toolkit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read some really great books the past few months and thought I&#8217;d post a review.
I&#8217;d highly recommend Ralph Kimball&#8217;s The Data Warehouse Toolkit.

I&#8217;d normally opt for an architecture book over a [dry] database book without a second thought.  Well I was pleasantly surprised to find this great resource.
Kimball gives the reader a GREAT [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pipes Source Code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been heads down in development the past few months.  During that time I&#8217;ve had numerous requests for the full source on the dynamically loaded modules &#8216;Pipes&#8217; demo,MortgageApp.
I *finally* had time to upload that source, simply use the &#8216;View Source&#8217; on the demo to view the source.
I&#8217;ve implemented a few enterprise RIAs using PureMVC [...]]]></description>

		<title>AdvancedDataGrid - Adventures in Binding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick post on AdvancedDataGrid dataProviders.
If your using a HierarchicalData provider for you AdvancedDataGrid (Flex) binding changes may (will) not be picked up by the AdvancedDataGrid.
For example

	&#60;mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="grid" bottom="10" top="40" left="10"
		designViewDataType="tree" width="379"&#62;
        &#60;mx:dataProvider&#62;

		<title>Bindable Read-Only Getters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the opportunity to clear up some confusion on &#8216;bindable&#8217; read-only &#8216;getters&#8217; so I thought I&#8217;d post.
If you mark your ActionScript class [Bindable], the compiler will generate propertyChange events for the class&#8217;s public variables and properties exposed through getters and setters.  
When a property exposed through a get / set pair is modified, [...]]]></description>

Problem:
PHP needed access to and ODBC connection that pointed to a dBase III database on a remote server.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flex Modules, Watch Your Scope!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another help hint for those working with Modules in Flex: Watch your variable scope!!
When loading modules, you have a number of options for loading the SWF including the ModuleLoader and ModuleManager.  If neither of those fit your needs you always have access to Flash&#8217;s Loader class.  ModuleManger can be used for fine [...]]]></description>
