Here is another week’s worth of great links:

  • Flash Player 10 socket connection timeout (from Adobe AIR : Recently Published Documents)
  • GTween v2.01 Released (from gBlog)
  • Indispensable Plugin for FlashBuilder: Flex Formatter (from gBlog)
  • FlexPMD Eclipse plug-in available (from Adobe Flash Platform Blog)
  • Pushing the Limits: Experimenting with the Adobe AIR… (from Adobe AIR Team Blog)
  • AIR 2.0 Web Server using the New Server Socket API (from Christophe Coenraets)
  • AIR 2 Chat Server & Client (from Flex and Flash Developer – Jesse Warden dot Kizz)
  • Help shape future versions of Flash Builder (from Adobe Flash Platform Blog)
  • Slides and Source files from Data Centric Development…(from Sujit Reddy G – The Evangelist)
  • I would really like to highlight the AIR 2 content above. There are some really cool and innovative ideas coming out of the new (actually upcoming since all of this has be done with beta software) version of AIR 2.0. I would also like to point out that I think this is the first time that I am seeing very useful Flex/Flash Builder related plugins being released and to top it off, 2 in 1 week. All of this in the last gasp of 2009. I am sure there are many more great things to come for the next year!

    Well….after the fiasco of my last Rubbernecker’s review post where I messed up the html links, this one should be better.

    Here is another week’s worth of great links:

  • Acrobat.com reloaded (from Adobe Flash Platform Blog)
  • Paging Data in Spark Components (AsyncListView) (from flex spaghetti)
  • LCDS 3.0 released (from Anil Channappa’s Blog)
  • LiveCycle Data Services 3 and doc available (from Flex Doc Team)
  • My Adobe Devnet Article About P2P Is Up (from Adobe Flash Platform Blog)
  • ShareFire 1.8 released! (from Daniel Koestler)
  • AIR 2.0 Multitouch Examples (from Cynergy Blogs)
  • Demonstration of Gesture APIs in AIR 2 (from Christian Cantrell)
  • AS3 ProximityManager V2 (from gBlog)
  • I’d like to highlight the multitouch demos and information from Andrew Trice at Cynergy and Christian Cantrell at Adobe. These 2 seem like the best resources in the early stages of this technology. With their demos and samples I have been making headway in understanding how this all works. If anyone has any other good resources or knows of any other good samples/demos, please comment. I should have a demo of my own that encorporates multitouch in a little while…so keep checking back.
