My friends and I play golf in summer times and we have one major tournament at the end of July yearly. We drive then around Finland one week and play about 18-36 holes in each day. We needed a system what stores our golf scorecards and maybe gives somekind of analyse of playing. So I decided to do a application for that purpose. Now here is Flex application to test and of course all Flex sources are available to you also. Forum Nokia will release Flash Lite part of this application soon in early 2008, maybe in January, so you can download Flash Lite sources from there then.

Flash Lite application can send players scorecards data to server and get basic analyses from server side (like scores, pbs, firs, girs, birdies and so on). Here is a few screenshots from Flash Lite application:

Flex 2 application is web based client to this application - there player can add, edit and delete scorecards and get beautiful graphics. This Flex application uses AMFPHP 1.9 at the backend of this applications. There are a lot of data in screen so you should have at least 1024x768 screen resolution to test this application.

You can test this Flex application here: Racing Tour Golf (login: guest, passwd: guest). There are now only testing material available in my player name, all other players data are empty.

Here are Flex, PHP, MySQL source codes of this application:

- AMFPHP Racing Golf Tour Services
- MySQL Racing Golf Tour Tables
- Flex Racing Golf Tour Sources

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

You can found a new Flash Lite articles in Forum Nokia. A while ago I wrote a few articles and now two of them are published in Nokia Creative Class section.

1. First article covers Flash Lite Multiplayer Game Example:

"Using the simple TicTacToe game as a basis, this example covers the practicalities of creating an online multiplayer game, complete with chat, and player challenge capabilities. Using the new socket server capabilities of Flash 2.1, this example, including all source files and a tutorial, should open up some new possibilities for developing online player interaction".

2. Second article covers Live XML Data Integration to Flash Lite Application:

"Learn how to build and deploy an online weather and travel application that pulls live data and presents it in a usable format. With an increasing emphasis on connected online services, this example shows how you can use the XML parsing capabilities of Flash Lite 2.0 from Adobe to easily present live data in your application. A tutorial document is included in the package".
