Just started a new Community so join up and contribute if you will. Coders helping coders …. code! I know what you are thinking. Another social network? Well I promise this one is only meant to help you as a programmer grow, learn, teach and build your social contacts in your specific field. I don’t think you will find yourself wasting hours and hours just hanging out. Unless you are just that ultra geek and you can’t get enough of the programming community, but I digress.

I started a local user group here in Nashville TN (http://615flex.com). If you don’t know my name is Matthew Wallace and I am a local Flex user group manager. Over the last year I have really realized that the most learning and growing that I have done as a programmer has been from being involved in this and user groups and really trying to help the community. In my case that would be the Flex community. You would be really surprised how much you will increase your programming skills just by being around others of like mind. My hope for Coder Resource is that it in some small way will benefit whatever programing language you are interested in. I really want this to be a place that other programmers can teach, learn and talk about there skills, so join up right now and contribute and if you don’t see a group for your programming language then start your own group on Coder Resource.

Lately I have been posting some things that I see on the Digg web site. It is my hope that this will show clients or people that are interested in obtaining my services what makes the creative timer tick around here. I don’t just read books on programing all the time to make your project come to live. The following article is just one of many things that will catch my eye during the day and bring some kind of inspiration to a project that I am working on at the time. I am going to do my best in the coming months to post stuff on my blog that will not just talk about Flash animation and design but things that I find creative, interesting, funny, and maybe some tid bit of knowledge I learn about programing or maybe some little trick or tip.

So here is a great article that I found on digg about a aspiring photographer. Just a great read and what grabbed me the most was that this guy is not a full time photographer, in the sense he does not earn a full time paycheck. He is a game programmer / turned photographer. The work that he produces is amazing.
What I really find inspiring is how his computer programing thinking and also a small disability contribute to his work.

Trey Ratcliff is an amazing photographer making a name for himself with a slew of amazing photographs that have populated Digg
’s front page so much that he has been dubbed “Digg’s favorite HDR photographer�. The man behind the camera just might be more fascinating than the photographs that he is famous for.

However, this may be a good enough reason to shake the sh*t out of them!

Saw this on Digg. I don’t know how this guy did not loss his mind! I have two kids myself and I am a Mac user. it pains my heart to see this. It is somewhat funny too. Glad it did not happen to me.
