Flash for the iPhone?

According to a couple of things I’ve read this morning, it looks like we might be a step closer.

Adobe and Apple are working together to create Flash for iPhone, according to Adobe chief Shantanu Narayen. Despite it’s not so easy and really up to Apple, but Narayen said that he was “pleased with progress”.

Where to start with iPhone Development?

So I finally got an iPhone and decided right away that I’d like to jump in and try my hand at doing a little dev work. I’ve looked around a bit on Amazon and a few other places trying to read up on customer reviews, ratings, etc, but I wanted to see if I could reach out to anyone that might be reading my blog and get your thoughts as well. I’ve looked a little at the iPhone Dev Center and the iPhone Developer Program but I know that sometimes people know of better places to get started. Also, is it mandatory/necessary/worth it to pay to join the program?

Before anyone asks, I’ll go ahead and answer what I assume will be the first question asked: “What’s your development background, Jason?”

Well, I learned to program in Flash. I’ve been working with ActionScript for just over 10 years now and I’ve touched on a couple of other things like Java and PHP in the past. I understand both procedural and object oriented programming and I feel like I would just need to learn the syntax when it comes to Objective-C.

Thanks for your thoughts!
