Where are all the resources?

No one has posted anything :S

I remember having a link to an excellent article about real time multiplayer games....I seem to have lost it now

EDIT: BAM! FOUND IT!

For now, this post about UDP vs TCP is very useful

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

Extremely simple tcp server/client example. Great to learn from

Great to learn bad exception and resource handling, as well as cpu munching.

I'm still looking for more resources, but one that had a lot of general networking tips + solutions was the book:
"ActionScript for Multiplayer Games and Virtual Worlds": http://www.amazon.com/ActionScript-Multiplayer-Games-Virtual-Worlds/dp/0321643364/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1359883942&sr=8-11&keywords=multiplayer+flash.

They use their own socket server, but they go through some stuff on syncing the client/server, interpolation, lots of stuff that helped when I was working with kyronet. More concepts, and things to think about when trying to work on multiplayer programming.
