How those articles are coming

I was promising some articles and yes I didn't forget. In fact I am currently working hard on it. Just wanna make it sure that the example code behind the article is at least beta. Currently I am still working a little on the TagLibs as there are some small issues. Yesterday I had to completely rewrite my JavaScript class-building framework as I seem to have forgotten about static method inheritance.But I have also started writing a good piece. The first article will be about the Client Side TagLibs (CSTL), which are probably the most "revolutionary"...

Navicat - Desktop MySQL GUI

Navicat - the World's Best MySQL GUI for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X is a rather claimy title for a product like this. I don't know if it quite meets it's promises, but damn sure looks like it. You can do anything from stored procedures to views and table contraints if you MySQL Server installation allows it. Unfortunately this is not freeware or an open source product. But at least they give you a 30-day trial. As I said, I did not test this thing throughoutly but it looks very promising to me at the moment. The only thing I am missing is...

flashAmp - The Flash MP3 Player

I stumbled over flashAmp - The Flash MP3 Player when I came from the site check of FLASHKIT.com. FlashAmp is a nicely skinned MP3 streaming player completely built in Flash. I have not tried it out but there is an instruction page with the free download which enables you to change the coloring and playlist of the player dynamically to fit your needs. However new skins are currently not possible (again they are against a small fee and an order to the designers). Anyhow. Someone should do this: create a fully WinAmp compliant Flash Player that is...
