My First Valleyschwag Shipment!

So yesterday I received my first shipment of goodies from Valleyschwag. I was qutie excited (I've always been a sucker for schwag). It came with some pretty cool stuff and of course the signature Valleyschwag burlap bag. The highlight was probably the MoveableType t-shirt and wrench. I'll try to post a couple of pictures soon.

I saw a post earlier in the week about this being in beta but it appears that they have added it to the live site now. Very cool :)

gotoAndLearn()

With my buddy Joe leaving to go to knoware last week I've had to dive back into the world of Flash development -- I've been away for a while :(

Anyway, I stumbled accross this site last week while searching a forum, gotoAndLearn.com. It is a great resource of easy to following Flash tutorials done with Flash Video. Perfect for someone like me who learns best by watching someone else.

Survey Management RIA

We did a soft launch of my first major Coldfusion project yesterday. The app is a complete survey management tool that covers everything from survey creation to reviewing survey results in a Flex dashboard. Unfortunately it's an internal app so I can't post an example but I think we are going to be genericising the content so hopefully we can move it to a public site sometime soon. In the meantime I'm going to put together a small case study that explains some of the key features including data transfer between our internal corporate network and our external data center, integrated Windows authentication etc....

Quick overview of the app:
1. A user visits the survey starter app to initiate a survey. (Coldfusion)
2. A survey is created and sent to a specific client. (Coldfusion)
3. The client recieves and email, clicks a link and takes the survey. (Coldfusion)
4. The data is transfered back to our internal network via BizTalk and a CF web service. (Coldfusion)
5. The person who initiates the survey recieves an email telling them that the survey is complete with a link to view the results in the dashboard. (Coldfusion & Flex)
6. Based on their permission level the user can view results of their own survey(s) and the surveys of people who report to them. (Coldfusion & Flex)
