Flash MX

Any pointers on great Flash MX sites for newbies? From a developer perspective?

Update: You can download a fully functional trial edition (expires after 15 days) from Macromedia. It comes with a full set of tutorials to get you started. The environment kinda reminds me of VB and Paradox for Windows.

moock.org’s blog is a weblog by the author of O’Reilly’s “ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide”. A book I am digging into. Very well written and easy to follow.

Java@Mozdev

To “Turn Java into a first-class citizen of the Mozilla/XUL platform. This will enable developers to build applications where a Java backend can be used to interact with a Mozilla/XUL front-end, combining the power of Java’s server libraries with the interactivity and user interface capabilities of Mozilla.” Looks like a project to watch.

Now that Mozilla is free of AOL (a great thing for Mozilla – a horrible thing for those AOL let go) – I wonder if you will see more big company involvement.

Philly Political Opinion Weblogs

These Philadelphia based webloggers are some of the very best and deserve your attention:

  • The Pennsylvania Gazette
  • Slacktivist
  • The Rittenhouse Review
  • Eschaton
  • Scrappleface
  • Speaking of weblogs…

    Livejournal users are taking over the Technorati Top 100.

    Contrast that to what Shelley finds surfing the weblogs.com list.

    Prediction: AOL bloggers will own lists that rely solely on linkage to determine popularity soon.

    Update 7/24/2003: Looks like LiveJournal users are now all over weblogs.com!
