What about iPhone programming

According to Adobe Labs Applications for iPhone ,

"Flash Professional CS5 will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch using ActionScript 3 . These applications can be delivered to iPhone and iPod touch users through the Apple App Store.*

A public beta of Flash Professional CS5 with prerelease support for building applications for iPhone is planned for laterthis year."

Why should I care?

Adobe ActionScript is the programming language of the Adobe Flash Platform.

Applications developed with the Adobe Flash Platform are primarily delivered to the client via the Adobe Flash Player.

The Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform browser plug-in that delivers Web experiences to over 98% of Internet users.

Flash Professional CS5 will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch using ActionScript 3.

Therefore, if you want to learn a programming language that allows you to tap into a market consisting of more than 98% ofInternet users or if you want to learn a programming language that will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch, ActionScript may be theprogramming language for you.

Examples of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs)

Here are some websites that use Rich Internet Applications built with the Adobe Flash Platform (November 2009) :

Live streaming TV feeds

There are many other live streaming TV feeds that were built with the Adobe Flash Platform. You can find them with a Googlesearch.

Prerequisites for study

In the event that you will be studying this material for the purpose of learning about OOP with ActionScript, there are afew thing that you need to know.

Not for beginners

First, this is not a beginners programming course. In developing this material, I will assume that you already knowhow to program in some procedural programming language and that you already understand such fundamental concepts as programming logic, functions, parameterpassing, etc.

Instead, this series of lessons will be designed to teach more advanced concepts involving object-oriented programming (OOP) using ActionScript.

ActionScript 3 or later will be required

The lessons in this series will emphasize OOP and will be based on ActionScript 3 or a later version. No attempt will bemade to achieve backward compatibility with ActionScript 1 or ActionScript 2.

Resources

I will publish a list containing links to ActionScript resources as a separate document. Search for ActionScript Resources in theConnexions search box.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
