Building Y!Maps in 24 Hours
| Thursday, May 31st, 2007 | --jr |
So, what did you do over the long weekend? Do a bit of gardening? Spend time with loved ones? Recreate detailed dioramas of pivitol Civil War Battles out of dryer lint, cat fur and used chewing gum? Well, Good Mr. Graves made us all look like we were just wasting our time.
Give that guy a few extra hours and he goes and builds an ActionScript 3 version of Y!Maps.
Ted Patrick rightfully extoles Zack's virtues as well:
Zach Graves is one of the best developers I know. He is 19, works for Yahoo, and can code AS3 like few I have ever met. Zach wrote an ActionScript 3 version of the Yahoo! Maps tile engine in 24 hours over Memorial Day weekend.
Yes, I'm poking him repeatedly to write up a summary for Developer.yahoo.com so that others can enjoy the spiffyness. Still, way to go Zach!
