Adobe Cookbook 2.0
From http://www.insideria.com/2009/09/the-adobe-developer-connection.html
Adobe has announced that the brand new Adobe Cookbooks application is now live! This new Adobe Cookbook application replaces the existing individual cookbook applications that existed for Flex, AIR and Mobile.
The new application still supports those technologies, and adds an additional dozen or so technologies, within a new single application.
The new application has an updated design and includes addition new features:
* Additional technologies supported (BlazeDS, Catalyst, PHP, etc)
* Improved navigation and search
* Recipe requests - for developers who can't find the code sample they are looking for
* Related recipes - that appear in a side bar of all recipe pages
* Cookbook Explorer - a visual display of top cookbook recipes and contributors
* New contributor recognition features - profile pics, links to blogs, links to community profiles
If you are a contributor, you should be sure to have your Adobe.com community profiles filled out before publishing any recipes as that is where the application will pull in a lot of the author recognition features. To fill out your community profile, login here and click "View your profile."
I have contributed recipes in the past and will continue to do so. Another important thing to note is that the O'Reilly relationship with the Adobe Cookbooks has allowed for many community contributed recipes to find their way into one of the published cookbooks. My experience in writing the AIR 1.5 cookbook included the selection of many recipes from the old AIR cookbook site for the printed book. This relationship continues with the new cookbook site, so not only will you now have additional recognition online when you submit a recipe, you may also wind up in a future printed O'Reilly cookbook.
