Partially due to the recent state of where we are in computing and development in general. Partially due to the most recent round of Flash [...]
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 [...]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been testing out Airgile to help me plan, track and manage my current Flex development effort. Before I continue please keep in mind this review is coming from someone who hates, no LOATHES project tracking tools/systems. I’ve used quite a few of them and most are a total waste [...]
