I’ve been looking at the stats for my blog and it seems a lot of people are searching for content about the YouTube Contest API. Now I know that there aren’t any external facing docs or tutorials, so I will write one up very soon on how to use it! I promise!
Like I mentioned a few posts ago, I’ve started writing tutorials for Flashtuts+ so I can raise my profile as a skilled freelancer. My first tutorial has been published on Flashtuts+ and is ready for all to see, check it out: Understanding the PureMVC Open Source Framework
Recently I joined a debate started by the editor of Flashtuts+ regarding coding conventions. Now I’m a strong believer that if you’re going to code, you best do it right. Yet on a day to day level I still see sloppy code. Gone are the days of Actionscript 1 and 2 coding when you didn’t have to declare variable’s type or a function’s return value, but still people continue this in their coding of Actionscript 3.
The fun doesn’t stop there. I admit, when I first started coding yes I was very sloppy with my convention, but I’ve cleaned up my act, honest. With other languages such as PHP and JavaScript, you see how easy it is to just keep typing and typing and through any sort of convention out of the window. But when the client turns around as says: “Why can’t that be 3D?” you’re then going to have to go through all your sloppy code and make it 3D.
