Flex Designs

A new toy has been beta released by Adobe called Flash Catalyst. Being beta software its not got the full feature set but it is free to use. As I'm not a Flex developer, free software for occasional use is ideal.

I'm going to assume that it won't be free for long so I'm going to save the download in my dropbox account.

Supposedly, you simply create your design in photoshop or illustrator, then import it into flash catalyst and then it make it very simple to create your designs layers for your flex app.

Update: Here's a handy post from SitePoint about using Catalyst and Twitter

Dropbox

Today I've heard of a new file sharing service that allows syncing and backing up of computer files across multiple computers. It's called dropbox and runs as an install on both mac's and windows.

It has a nice entry level service of 2GB for free and the additional amounts seem quite reasonable too.

I'll be testing this out and seeing what I think. Retweet this button on every post blogger
