Rotten Apple
The new iPhone 4.0 SDK language appears to make creating applications in any non-Apple-approved languages a violation of terms. What this means is that Apple isn’t going to allow any apps developed on or in any other platform into the App Store. Yet another blow to the Adobe Creative Suite 5; which made major changes to the Flash application to make creating iPhone Apps a possibility for non Apple developers. Adobe has acknowledged the change to the New York Times, but doesn’t have any change in plans just yet.
I would love to say that I’m shocked about this, but sadly I’m not. In fact, I would expect nothing less from a company who holds such tight reigns over developers and employees.
Apple may make some of the coolest products on the market, but their leadership is absolutely LAME!

Adobe Air® 2.0 + Native Applications!
We’ve been working on an Adobe Air® application for quite some time called LiteFile® and production came to a slow halt when the need for launching Native Applications started to sour our love for Air. But with the new version of Air, we hope the affair will rekindle. I’ve downloaded the beta and worked through the tutorial by Adobe’s Jeff Swartz; now all that remains is applied usage! I’m really excited about this for two reasons.
MoreNever Stop Learning
I’ve been a developer for over 10 years now and I stumbled upon an extremely simple bit of coding that I’ve never either seen or realized was out there. It’s so simple that I feel like a complete n00b for not knowing this!
MoreIM’s Place at Work
IM has the immediacy of telephone without the interruption, and the convenience of email without the delay. For years I’ve been an advocate for instant messaging in the work place so I figured I’d take a few minutes and explain why I feel IM should be implemented and how!
