TLD (Talk Like Designers) the long awaited app has passed the apple detectives and is now available in the itunes store for a lazy 99 cents. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Blog readers. I have spent 6 months researching how Adobe Flash can create technically acceptable apps for the Apple Itunes and Android Market. The app called TLD (Talk like a Designer) was fully created in Flash and then managed through the Apple Development Program. Now that sounds a bit classy, but what it really means is that Flash is back and is a Great design/coding environment for the mobile market. Another great canvas for our Designs and Concepts. Check it out by typing TLD into the search engine in the Itunes app store. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heres a screenshot of the email Apple sends you as a developer to tell you the good news.

The Mobile WEB (what the?)

The world is mobile. Smart Phones and Tablets have bludgeoned their way into our lives. Web sites must work on as many platforms as possible. The good news is that traditional web skills in HTML and CSS dominate this arena. YES! Here's a bit of light reading on the subject.

Great Adobe Overview of the whole web design process

Our overlords at Adobe have created a series of videos that explain the whole web design process. Great viewing for that lonely Saturday night or after a long shift waiting on tables. They speak of HTML 5 but many concepts are relevant to our HTML 4 adventures.
