[...] 2008 began with on a great note for CIM. For the last few months a group of developers here, myself included, have been trying to be a little more vocal and public about the stuff we do and how we do it. I have done it on this blog a bit with entries on how we adopted Flex to build the next generation of video experiences on Comcast.net. But as of this Jan 1, CIM officially has developer blogs (applauuaseeee). The Flash team’s blog is available at http://teamcim.comcast.net/team/flash. Stay tuned as we start talking about the Fan, which I think is one of the most complex Flex applications out there, as well as our in-house tools that we are going to release under open source. Suggestions are welcome either as comments on this post or the one at Flash Team Blog Spread the word: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

[...] WooHoo !!!! The Fan, Comcast Interactive Media’s flagship video application, which I worked on as main architect and lead developer, was deployed to production this week. The Fan is currently one of the top 10 online video destinations and the new version adds a LOT of cool features to the application. I have already talked about developing the Browse view using the Flex out of the box components and then later writing a component set for the circular view, which HAS to be the most interesting UI for a Flex application .

[...] I had already talked about how and why we built the alpha version with Flex in a previous post. I was pretty surprised by how many people picked it up. As of right now, the mode is still featured on scalenine.com, a site archiving some of the best skinned flex applications out there. However, while the page view of the alpha release was very well skinned, the basic interactions on the application such as drag and drop playlist controls and data bound UI components were still fairly out-of-the-box Flex. The circular view of the Fan is however anything but traditional and so we ended up writing a lot of custom components to get the look and feel of the application right. [...]
