		<title>Webcast: Introduction to Flex and AIR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently did a &#8220;tech talk&#8221; at work &#8212; an introduction to Adobe&#8217;s Flex and AIR.  The presentation is geared to the techie with some UI-building experience but with little or no knowledge of Flex or FlexBuilder.
Although there are some high-level introductory/overview slides up front, the bulk of the presentation is a build-it-from-scratch session [...]]]></description>

		<title>Announcing Stark Security Plugin for Grails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m happy to announce the release of the new Stark Security plugin to the Grails plugins repository.  It&#8217;s a cleaned-up (and, hopefully, simplified) edition of the alternative Spring Security plugin previously mentioned here.  The main focus of this plugin is to provide a simple yet strong security solution, and it&#8217;s different from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Production-Grade SpringSecurity Plugin for Grails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post &#8220;Production-Grade Acegi Security for Grails&#8220;, readers correctly commented that the underlying technology for the plugin was rather outdated.  Some of the assertions in that post were based on an early version of the standard Acegi plugin for Grails, and the underlying security library was an outdated acegi version.
To make a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manipulating Views under Cairngorm using Facades</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently re-wrote a fairly major Flex application, having an opportunity to start from scratch with lessons learned.  The previous implementation used the Cairngorm framework, but not quite in line with its intent &#8212; it was purely used to in &#8220;data commands&#8221; to retrieve data from the server.
After reviewing some of the other MVC [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Flex Implementation using Modules with URLKit Deep-Linking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work, we recently had an opportunity to rebuild the Flex front end to our web application.  Having started from scratch with the initial version of the application a year and a half ago (with little prior Flex experience in our staff), this &#8220;greenfield&#8221; opportunity gave us a chance to take the lessons learned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Production-Grade Acegi Security for Grails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: See an update/upgrade to this post (moving to SpringSecurity) here.
The standard Acegi plugin for Grails provides a basic implementation of the Acegi security framework for the Grails web stack.  It does a nice job of setting up a basic filter chain that can be rather cumbersome to establish from scratch.  It comes hard-wired with [...]]]></description>
