Ok, so in searching for the best way to set up a development environment and such; I have found the greatest up-to-date (Red5 0.8) tutorials.  Assuming you have Red5 installed somewhere to deploy or if you just want play around locally on your MacBook Pro, Mac Pro or any Intel based Mac OS X 10.5+, then I have waywardly and deliriously stumbled across the solution: TCP:1935′s Blog found HERE

I’m hoping to follow up some of this fine site’s tutorials with ‘side’ tutorials that will include MySQL usage, AIR, Flex, Flash and other interaction based coding.
