Tip of the Day – AS3 Language Reference for your iPhone
Today was my first real day as Senior Adobe Developer for T-Mobile… and to be completely honest with you guys… I’m completely exhausted and uninspired at the moment
So… with an honest intent to keep up my 30 day tips streak… I’m going to tell you to check out Mike Chambers’ new iPhone application. It may seem silly, but I find having the AS3 Language Reference on my phone incredibly useful at times. For example, when I’m flying, when I have no internet connectivity, or when I’m out at lunch and am trying to brainstorm a solution.
Learn more about AS3 API Reference iPhone application.
