• Blitting 10,000 Sprites in Actionscript 3.0

  In this article we extend the code written in the last tutorial.
  We reuse the blitted animation to animate 10,000 sprites
  at 12fps, pushing the limits of what you can achieve with
  the Flash Player. Faster computers may be able to run
  more than this; I am able to run 15,000 without any drop in
  frame rate, so feel free to explore the upper boundary.

• A Flex FAQ Browser

  Last month I showed how to program an application
  that could both create and load XML data files. This
  made it easy to construct individual data records by
  entering text into the fields on a form and then saving
  a database in XML format on disk. I used the same
  application to load the XML data from the file. However,
  that application made no attempt to display the XML in
  a nicely formatted way. I’ll deal with that problem now.

• Objective C Fundamentals: Boxing

  While NSNumber provides a convenient and clean
  interface for boxing and unboxing numerical based
  primitive types, NSValue allows you to box and unbox
  any C-style value at the expense of having a slightly
  more complex interface to program against.

• Objective C Fundamentals: NSXML Parser

  Apple provides a class called NSXMLParser to iPhone
  developers. Developers use this class when parsing
  XML. This article from Objective-C Fundamentals shows
  that NSXMLParser provides delegate methods that
  handle every point of parsing for both XML- and DTDbased
  documents.

• How to Promote a More Seamless Designer/ Developer Workflow

  One of the biggest issues in an application UI development
  process is the workflow between the designer and the
  developer. The designer is rightly concerned about
  the integrity of the design, while the developer is also
  concerned about the functionality of the final application.

• Book Review: Flex for Fun

  As of now, there are so many books available on
  Adobe Flex that cater the needs of both a beginner
  and somewhat advanced developers. However, until
  now, there was no book that would teach and share the
  visual aspects of Adobe Flex in depth.
