Hi Dave,
.
I got some mini test on Attest 2.0.
First of all I had to I had to pay you a lot of compliments for the great job you’ve done in the latest Attest version.
This is so useful to me
The best occasion I can train myself is in underground or in train during the home-company commuting. There I have no connection available. So my improvement suggestion is to create a no-connection version of the tests, keeping updateable as it is now but downloadable also. That would be perfect.
The second is a mistake I’ve found in a question about service, the 14th in mini 3: ‘True or False. Given the following the following line of code where myService is a previously defined HTTPService object, and GetWeather an operation of it, the lastResult object will be correctly bound to the text area when the service result is received’
HTTPservice component is used with no operation, So in the current way the answer would be ‘false’. The question-answer you gave would match better if you refer to WebService (or RemoteObject alternatively) instead of HTTPService.
Third: some weeks ago I send you some Q&A about AIR. Did you see it?
your grateful
dan
Hey Daniele,
Good call on the errata, it’s fixed now. Must be one of those late nights when we were writing questions
I did get your email a while back, Outlook says I replied back on 1/23/2009 at 1:10PM but I can’t find the original reply.
The suggestion for the disconnected version is something we definitely want to work into Attest. Have it check periodically for updates, download any updates, store them locally so users don’t have to always be connected. That’s on our todo list for sure, for now we just wanted to get the strongest material out for people to study with, and future versions are going to have tons more.
One of the features Holly and I want to work in is a Community aspect to the app, and users could submit questions/answers of their own for part of the “learning Flex” area. So that’ll be great if you have some Q/A’s to submit, just let me know.
