Good Flash programmers are not easy to find, with many companies scrambling to find their own Actionscript virtuosos. This makes us even happier about the first-rate talents that we have secured in our team. As one can never be 100% prepared for what the future holds, we are always watching out for fresh talents in this field.
We have kept SwitchOn(Training) as our little secret when it comes to sourcing good Flash programmers, but have now decided to let the world know about this excellent establishment! SwitchOn(Training) is a Flash and Actionscript school in Cape Town that is dedicated and passionate about improving the quality of Flash training in the local Flash community.
As we are located in Cape Town, it has always been easy to convince programmers from around the world to move here to be part of our dynamic team. That said, we really do appreciate the local development and are looking forward to seeing many talented graduates!
No commentsCharles : Web Debugging Proxy | HTTP Monitor | HTTP Proxy | HTTPS/SSL Proxy | Reverse Proxy
Charles is an HTTP proxy / HTTP monitor / Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information).
- Charles can act as a man-in-the-middle for HTTP/SSL communication
- Charles simulates modem speeds by effectively throttling your bandwidth and introducing latency
- Charles is especially useful for Adobe Flash developers as you can view the contents of LoadVariables, LoadMovie and XML loads. Charles also has native support for Flash Remoting (AMF0 and AMF3). More about Charles and Flash.
- Charles is also useful for XML development in web browsers, such as AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) and XMLHTTP, as it enables you to see the actual XML that is flowing between the client and the server.
- Charles natively supports JSON, JSON-RPC and SOAP; displaying each in a simplified tree format for easy viewing and debugging.

Quite amazing…
Quote: “here it is, our first multi-touch prototyp. a display recognizing multiple touches as well as being pressure sensitive. the method we used is the well known FTIR trick, developed by Jeff Han. concerning the software part we don’t use any pre-made multi-touch software but vvvv for tracking and visualization. therefore we have our own, customized toolkit including self-made freeframe plugins, which is very reliable and accurate.
right now the prototyp is quite robust against daylight and has low latency…although both parameters will be improved. we are working on different projects regarding the multi-touch topic and prototouch will be our test platform”
