Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 1/27/2012
Posted on Jan 27, 2012
A busy week (or so) of posts. The hot topic lately seems to be not just Stage3 but specifically 2D game development using Stage3D. Each week seems to bring upates to new or existing game engines and frameworks for 2D game development as well as tutorials on the topic. This week is no exception.

This is the first update of the new year and there are a ton of sample applications, tutorials and announcements over the past few weeks. Once again there is continued interest and releases in Stage3D and continued innovation using AIR native extensions on the desktop. There was also a lot of activity regarding the new Apache Flex project including a very busy mailing list which shows a high level of continued community interest in the platform.

The year is almost over and, if you are like me, you are already getting ready to go on holiday. Nonetheless, the community keeps pumping out new and great tutorials and projects. I did take a moment yesterday to call out some of the best Flex community bloggers of 2011 and hope to do the same for Flash next week.

So, this week features that section with a number of new tutorials and open-source library/framework releases related to Stage3D.

Admittedly, this has been a rollercoaster year for Flex. However, as has been very evident this week, Flex has a very strong community filled with individuals who share their time and effort to help other developers such as themselves. I want to recognize some of these today by choosing my personal top bloggers of the year from the Flex community. I know there are many of you who contributed and I wish I could thank all of you individually, but these nine individuals I think deserve some special recognition for their work this year. Here's to a bright, and community-led, 2012.
To be clear, I am including only community bloggers, not evangelists or employees of Adobe. Second, none of these bloggers blog exclusively on Flex but they did blog about Flex or Flex related topics such as Flash Builder, Flash Catalyst and AIR over the course of the year. Lastly, yes, I do hope to do another one of these posts focused on Flash hopefully next week.
