Exploring new areas of development

Hey Internet,

I've been pondering about a career goals lately with all this uprising against Flash and I've decided to throw a few new languages under my belt. Specifically, objective C and java. Can you guess what for!? Well, mobile development for the iPhone and Android platforms. I'll try to catalogue my steps to gain these new skills in my blog, but you know how that goes sometimes. I'm hoping for the best.

As of right now, I'm watching the Stanford iTunes U podcasts for iPhone Dev, watching Lynda.com videos for iPhone dev, and following along with a Beginning iPhone Dev book. So, we can say I've jumped in head first. I hoping to find a simple project for freelance or even build my own game to ramp up on practical use.

As for Android dev, I've signed up for a live web lesson for developing for the platform. Hopefully I don't forget about it.

Stay tuned folks.
