Google App Engine Text Datastore Object not Saving with AMF
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
I’ve been working with creating a Flex app with Google App Engine and AMF based on Sekhar Ravinutala’s blog post about using GraniteDS and the new Java framework for GAE. Everything was going smoothly until I needed to use a datastore Text object instead of a standard string property because a string can only contain 500 [...]

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
In a recent project we built a DataGrid that showed paginated data from a web service. That itself was pretty straight-forward. It eventually required sorting.
