Why the iPad’s user agent string presents a problem
Apple marketed the iPad at launch as an internet device designed for the full web. So why then are they explicitly classifying it as a mobile device?Read the story »
Creating partial package SWC files
If you're a Flex developer, SWC's are nothing new to you. But for Flash dev's, SWC files are one of those 'yea I've seen those, but I don't totally understand how, what, or why I'm supposed to use them' things in Flash development. They're incredibly useful - if you know exactly how to use them. Especially in CS3 (CS4 made it a little less painless with the explicit abiliy to specify SWC files as internal or external libraries). Unfortunately, generating them can be even more confusing. there just isn't much documentation, and if you use the flex sdk and/or FlashDevelop, the compc.exe command line options are daunting.
