2D ActionScript 3.0 Physics Engine

APE (Actionscript Physics Engine) is a free AS3 open source 2D physics engine for use in Flash and Flex, released under the MIT License. APE by Alec Cove. 

The JIT is an advanced JavaScript infovis toolkit that was based on 5 papers regarding different information visualization techniques. The JIT implements advanced features of information visualization like Treemaps (with theslice and dice and squarified methods), an adapted visualization of trees based on theSpacetree, a focus+context technique to lay Hyperbolic Trees, and a radial layout of trees with advanced animations (RGraph).

Some very nifty tools here:http://blog.thejit.org/?page_id=14

In particular, check out the spacetree demo 

Also a nice bibliography.

I’ve been in drupal world again, which happens to use the jQuery JS libraries. Simon Willison has some great resources and links here: Unobtrusive JavaScript with jQuery

The latest jQuery. jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages.

My favorite tweener engine for Flash - in both AS2 and 3. Simple, clean and fast.

Combine the Wii Controler and Flash by using the wiiFlash api this great work by Joa Ebert and Thibault Imbert

The WiiFlash project is divided into two parts:

• WiiFlash Server (C++ or .NET server that handles Wiimote communication)
• WiiFlash ActionScript API (SWC component)

Run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure. Google App Engine enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications.

Flare is a collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of interactive visualizations. For example, flare can be used to build basic charts, complex animations, network diagrams, treemaps, and more. Flare is written in the ActionScript 3 programming language and can be used to build visualizations that run on the web in the Adobe Flash Player. Flare applications can be built using the free Adobe Flex SDK or Adobe’s Flex Builder IDE. Flare is based on prefuse, a full-featured visualization toolkit written in Java.

The Google Visualization API lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display, choosing from a large selection of visualizations. The Google Visualization API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share and reuse visualizations written by the developer community at large.

Or, if that bores you, simply checkout their Visualization Gallery

Google will announce a new set of APIs that will allow developers to leverage Google’s social graph data. They’ll start with Orkut and iGoogle (Googls personalized home page), and expand from there to include Gmail, Google Talk and other Google services over time. Check out the article Tech Crunch Article
