vmware_logo_128Part 2 - “Creating a Virtual Development Environment”

In the previous article to this series, we got our Ubuntu server appliance up and running. We can also access it directly through our VMWare client. In this article, we will look at how to connect to our VM through SSH in order to run commands from a Telnet client, as well as FTP into our server. (more…)

vmware_logo_128Part 1 of “Creating a Virtual Development Environment”

In this small series, I am going to show you how to setup a virtual machine. We are going to setup an Ubuntu LTS Server that runs your typical LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) configuration. I will also discuss additional tools I use for development. I will finish by setting up a Virtual Host that you can access through the desktop. This article will focus on setting up Ubuntu as a virtual machine. (more…)

Hello, world!
Posted by Rob in General on 01 17th, 2009 | 1 Comment

No this isn’t the post that came with Wordpress. I figured, since my blog is focused on coding and other related items, what better way to start off this blog than with a “Hello, world!” post? I decided to create this blog rather than continue with the one I have on my previous site Flash Extensions for several reasons: 1) My previous blog had been seriously neglected; 2) This blog lets me talk about any technology and not limit my posts to discussions relating to just Flash, Flex, and ActionScript.

Who am I?

If you would like to know who I am, go to About.

So what are the things I discuss?

Primarily things that I have found that have helped me in my daily programming environment: Tips, Frameworks, IDEs, Servers, Web Services, etc. The great thing about our industry is that its constantly evolving. The bad thing is that it can be daunting to keep up with it all. I have currently honed programming in Flex, PHP, and Java. I find these to be well supported by both a company and an large community of developers. So, hopefully you will subscribe to this blog and I can give you some insight to things I have learned prior and am currently learning.

If you find something that you wish to share or provide feedback, then drop me a line!
