		<description><![CDATA[I just thought I&#8217;d add a quick blog post on something that came up recently while we were developing something in Ruby on Rails.
When you attempt to sort items in rails, any nils automatically come first &#8211; they&#8217;re considered to have a lower &#8220;value&#8221; than anything that&#8217;s not nil.
Now, on many occasions, you&#8217;ll want to [...]]]></description>

HMRC were of no use when I called them and asked for advice &#8211; they pointed me towards their website and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the response to my previous post of a few days ago on the subject of server-side validation, it seems some of you remain unconvinced as to its need and continue to hold the belief that the client is responsible for all data validation.
Primarily, the argument seems to be that it&#8217;s not needed if you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

Working on various projects throughout my Flex life, I&#8217;ve come across many different approaches to [...]]]></description>
