Since I recently noticed I can get the FlexBuilder for free as a Student, I just had to check it out. I really like Flash / ActionScript to build WebApps, it easy effective and feels more like “Real Programming” than building a Website. So to also build something usefull (at least for me) I build a little WebApp to check my Mercurial Repositories automatically so, if any of my Colleges pushes a Update I get notified quickly.
If somebody likes to check ist out you find the App under HgWatch.
Comments are welcome, I’m by now way an expert on Flex Development but it seems fun, maybe I port the App to Air someday.
