Project Quindici = MAXwidget
I’m happy to announce that the project is now live. The widget is built with Flex Builder 3 and the Flex 3 framework, ColdFusion, Flash Media Server and Photoshop. I’ll do a follow up blog post about how it was built next week. I hope you like it.

While I was taking some time off, I thought it would be a good idea to give you a peak at what’s running behind the scenes of the MAX widget and why I chose ColdFusion and Flex to build it.

When I showed the first versions of the MAX widget to a few colleagues, most were very surprised to hear that this was all built with the Flex 3 framework and that no Flash Catalyst or Flash CS4 was involved in this.
“Including the animations?“, was a question I got a lot. And yes… Even the [...]

Hi Serge
Great stuff!
One minor comment though: when I clicked “get Widget” I expected to get an AIR application …
Will you plan to have it as an AIR app ?

Awesome widget! Those facts are funny, interesting and make me wanna know more :)
Looking forward on how you built it.

@cisnky Sadly this does indeed happen sometimes. We are investigating this but it seems to happen very randomly. Apologies for the inconvenience.
