Looking forward to this slight departue from the usual subjects at LFPUG into the world of iPhone/iPodTouch development.  I have my development kit but not got around to using it yet…

• An Introduction to iPhone Application Development
• iPhone Development for Web Developers

30 April 2009

Some interesting 3D flash stuff. I have prior engagement to see Ultravox for the first time since 1986 which will keep me away from this one. So I will be relying on the video recording of the session.

• Papervision3D, Simplified
• We Make. You Enjoy

Again it looks like a couple of really interesting subjects on 31 Jan:

• PureMVC
• The 3rd Way: Handling 3D on the Web

More information is on the LFPUG site

I looked at using PureMVC previously for a simple tennis game, but left it aside in favour of building MVCish classes independent of any ‘framework’. I look forward to seeing if this decision saved or cost me time.

I haven’t got around to the obligatory 3D stuff yet. Personally I’ve always found it a bit of a red-herring, and one where the cost:benefit often falls short. So I’ll be particularly interested in seeing examples of good use.
