Holger Kohnen has just posted a very interesting article on authentication for AMF-PHP Flash Remoting projects at flashfanatiker.de. It’s nice to see some more info on the subject as securing Flash applications is often seen as unfeasible while it can actually be quite simple to implement.
Friends of ED just did a great indepth interview with Lucian Beebe, Product Manager for Flash. Some very interesting questions raised, be sure to check it out!
I just took the Flash MX 2004 developer certification exam this morning and passed with an 82% grade. I’d say it was a fair mix of both ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 questions as well as some questions on more obscure Flash related concepts and its implementation.
Haven’t seen a lot of candidates from the old continent taking the new certification exam yet, would definitely encourage anyone working professionaly with Flash on a daily basis to go for it. It’s well worth the effort!
[update] You can find more information, including the exam guidelines and sample questions here. The “Certified Flash MX 2004 developer study guide” is a good book to help prepare (though hands-on experience is probably the best way to learn).
