Re: FLASH: Achieving True Flash Enlightenment

[Mary Brzys]

Hi Mike,


Well, there's books out there and some of them are ok, what I learned

I learned from looking at other peoples sites; which in turn is

inspiring. Also from this list and from links from people from this

list. One of the best ways to learn is to actually create a page for a

client, and make sure you have a heftly deadline to hit. It's amazing

what you learn when you have to hit a deadline! Of course now, you

could also just start creating something......and if you make a

mistake, try again. Like if you fall off your bicycle, or in your case

your bigwheel, get back on and try again. Lucky for you, being on a

bigwheel, you don't have far to fall!
