Hey there!
It’s Wednesday, so this mid-week roundup is devoted to all things business and development.
Some links are newsworthy, some retweeted across Twitter, and others just meet our “awesomeness” requirement, and regardless we hope you’ll enjoy them. Without further delay:
- How do you really feel about Flash? You may want to check out FrontalCode
- Do you contribute to open source software (OSS)? Ever wonder why people do? Not a new one, but darn awesome and will reveal some important truths about why developers develop and give code away “freely”
- In trying to help someone understand the brilliance of version control today, I was reminded of a great post on How to Git & Git Hub (via lesseverything.com) – also check out GitHub’s latest feature “Organizations.”
- For those Twitter entrepreneurs and developers who’s service has been reduced by the Fail Whale, I’d like for you to enjoy this short essay, Fail Whale Speaks (via McSweeny’s)
- Clay Shirky on How Cognitive Surplus Will Change the World (via TED)
Wildcard: CSS3 Solar System with a bit of an i.e. “effect” (via Kottke)
Please shoot me links to projects your working on or awesome things you’ve released! news@thinkvitamin.com
