Last week, at work, I was creating an Zend_AMF server for some project I work on. But because the front-end isn’t ready yet, I couldn’t test the server properly.

UnitTests are one thing, but I wanted to be 100% sure that everything is mapped correctly.

I was thinking of creating a browser like the one you find in amfphp or weborb, but I didn’t had the time.
Next option: search and find a browser with Google.

A few moments ago, I found ZamfBrowser. It’s an Air application, so perfect for every developer, whether you work with OSX, *nix or even Windows.

Features I like already:
- auto updates
- you can add amf servers as many as you want
- you can build your own request, with as many parameters as you like

Tomorrow I’ll test it properly, and I’ll post my findings later this week.

This one is very handy for me! I work almost constantly in Eclipse to create PHP/HTML/CSS/Flex/AIR/… apps.

Today I’ve found a solution for my FTP issues. Although Cyberduck is a great FTP-client, it doesn’t come even near Transmit, but Transmit isn’t free, unfortunatly.
I’ve tried to use FireFTP, but I don’t like it very much, because it ain’t easy to edit files straight on the remote server.

But since a few moments ago I’m able to use Eclipse as FTP-client! With remote editing included!

I stumbled upon a chat log with a link to the Target Management homepage.

The easy explination (this is only been tested for Eclipse Europa):

Go to the “Find and Install …” option in the Software Updates menu from your Eclipse installation.
Choose “Search for new features to install”.
Select “Europa Discovery Site”. 
Then select the “Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime” in the “Remote Access and Device Development”-tree.

After it’s installed, go to Window > Show View > Other … Then select the “Remote Systems”-view from the “Remote Systems”-folder.

Now you’re able to setup a new remote location, aka your ftp server. :)
