Adobe have revamped their developer site, judging by the post on Robert Penner’s site. The ActionScript 3 component tutorial looks invaluable to those wanting to create components in the new language.
There’s a good selection of chiptune music up on the 16 dimensional records website. I’d heard the Gerbera track before by Dong and liked it a lot and the new album, 9801st marriage proposal, is really good.
Especially recommend hanatachibana, top track.
Nice!. In German however, so I’m going to have to guess what some of the options are.
So, Silverlight finally gets a release. The Halo 3 demo is nice enough, but I haven’t seen anything that knocks my socks off as a developer yet. My money’s still on Flash; “Moviestar” adds H.264 video support (HD) and going by Ted Patrick’s blog post it seems the next version of the Flash player, “Astro”, is going to add even more features.
I still think Adobe need to add DRM support for video when not served from an Adobe Media Server; it pretty much renders progressively-downloaded video with any rights issues unusable otherwise.
