I know that my blog posts have gone to almost zero for the last few months, but there is a really good reason for that… I wrote a book! Almost 400 pages in all, this book focuses on using Flex to build mobile application for Android, iOS, and QNX platforms using Adobe Air.
I recently acquired and was able to read over the Flash iOS Apps Cookbook by Christopher Caleb. The book is available from Packt in both print and digital formats.
Author and FDT fan Sidney de Koning has just completed a new book titled ‘Automating ActionScript Projects With Eclipse and Ant‘. It’s a short and sweet book that gives a nice introduction for anyone interested in integrating Eclipse & Ant into their Flash workflow.
Here are a couple pretty interesting looking books that could be of use for anyone getting into the world of Flash and/or Flex mobile development for Android and iOS. Some of these titles are newer than others and one is yet to be published. They all look like they’re worth checking out a bit though either online or at your favorite brick and mortar bookstore.
Put your ActionScript 3 skills to work on iPhone and iPad apps. This hands-on book walks you through the process of creating an Adobe AIR application for iOS devices from start to finish, using the Flex 4.5 framework.
Starling is an ActionScript 3 2D framework developed on top of the Stage3D APIs (available on desktop in Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3). Starling is mainly designed for game development, but could be used for many other use cases.
Adobe today announced that Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 will be shipping fairly soon. This is great news for the community because the runtimes are LOADED with great new features. How do I know the features are great? Because I’ve been working with them for the past couple of months while writing a set of companion books for O’Reilly about them both! In fact – the drafts are complete as of last night and are currently in tech review.
