NeoSwiff
Friday, 22 April 2005
I was sent a link to NeoSwiff the other day. It's a C# to Flash compiler, and although it would obviously be better if it was Java, it's still pretty cool. At the moment it's a public beta - so get it while it's still available! I may or may not post up some experiments - it depends if I manage to do anything worthy of sharing.. :)
Perhaps this will make Flash more accessible to non design types like me. It's also notable that they support Mac, Linux and Windows..
Mind you, none of this will matter if Adobe decide to destroy Flash. Time will tell.. :)

I'm still planning on playing with this at some point when I get more time, for now I'm still under a workload equivalent to several unfit sumo wrestlers stuffed in a mini. On a lighter note I bought all the stuff for my new computer today, more info on the blog soon :)

well actually i **does** matter if adobe decides to kill flash. Supose that you are an actionscript 1.0 coder trying to get into A.S. 2.0 for app develoment. You might was well decide to go for the C-Sharp + Neoswiff combo instead and then if "Adobe decides to destroy Flash" it will make all the diference in the world for you because flash will be gone while c# will still stay around. Unless of course, if Adobe decides to buy Microsoft too and destroy C-Sharp. Then we will be doomed to develop Rich PDF Applications using some lame PDF-Script languague. Woo-hoo!! ;)
