Developing Flash Applications with Flex Builder

Flex Builder is built on top of Eclipse, and it allows you to develop Flash applications on Linux.

Unfortunately, Flex for Linux Is Dead

Anonymous's picture

If you check carefully, you'll find that Flex Builder for Linux hasn't been updated in over a year (other than a minor release so that it would continue functioning after a cutoff date). I've discussed this issue with other Flex developers and unfortunately we all seem to be in agreement... Adobe is not going to continue developing on the Linux platform. You can simply look at the absence of any activity by Adobe on that subject especially after they just released a new version of Flex, now called Flash Builder 4.

P.S. Your article was nice.

White Paper
Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
