No code this time, but I have a list of things I learned as a newbie to Away3D and Flash in making the first version of savagelook.com. I would post the source, but it's such a mess, as I was learning during development, that I fear it would only confuse people! In any case, it's mostly performance tuning things that I personally ran into, but perhaps it can help others starting on their first projects.
