Apps Amuck is a site devoted to helping you learn how to build iPhone Apps.  Every day there is new sample code for you to download and learn from.

Canada now has a National do not Call Registry.  Time to sign up and stop those scumbag telemarketers from interrupting my dinner.   It’s a very simple process - simply enter your number(s), a simple captcha and your good to go!

I’ve been given 100 invites for Googles new Chrome web browser.  Leave a comment and I’ll pass one along.

I was reading some Flex docs online the other night, and in the live docs section I noticed a link to where you could download the example scripts for many of the examples shown in the Flex docs.  The zip file is available here and contains some great Flex/AS projects including a Wiki Editor, Video Jukebox, Display Object Transformer and many more.

If you are a Canadian who is (was) hoping to pick yourself up an iPhone on July 11th, Rogers Communciations just announced their voice and data plans.  WOW - they are totally screwing us Canadians over - just look at the plan comparisions between the US, UK and Canada. If you’re as outraged and disappointed as I am you should head on over to  RuinedIphone.com where you can sign a petition and open letter to Steve Jobs.  If anyone from Rogers is reading this post (not likely but I’ll say it anyhow) I will not be purchasing an iPhone nor a service plan from you.

If you use Firefox as your primary browser for debugging your Flex applications, you may want to read this bug report before you upgrade you browser to Firefox 3…

[#FB-13064] Firefox 3 and Flex Debug Not Working

If you must have the latest and greatest Firefox, you can always use the workaround of debugging with Safari or Internet Explorer!

 It’s a sad day if you’re a Vancouver Canuck Hockey fan.  One of our truly great players has retired.

I just now noticed that Parallels for OSX now has a Directory of Virtual Appliances that offers over 50 open source operating systems with specific features. For example there is an AMP Web Developer Suite that contains PHP/PERL/Python, MySQL and PostgreSQL all installed, configured, and ready to use.

Google has just announced the Google Maps API for Flash.  This AS3 library will allow you to natively put Google Maps into your Flex or Flash apps without having to do any hacky-hack iFrame/div methods.  You can read the announcement on Google’s blog.

The OpenSource Flex site has released the team’s Flex SDK coding conventions and best practices.  If you’re planning on committing code to the SDK, these are the guidelines that you will have to follow.  These guidelines are also useful even if you’re just looking to be a better AS3 coder.
