Re: FLASH: Advanced Flash Techniques class coming soon!

[Joe MLERF]

I've been to a two day class for advanced actionscripting.

It was pitiful.  There is no way to enlighten someone with all of the

requisite skills for actionscripting in 2 days.  Honestly, Branden, with all

my respect, I don't think a one day class will do it.  I think what is

needed

much more desperately than another $50/hr/student one day fly-through

tutorial is a $50.00 book!  I've been learning action script on my own for

over the past year

and feel confident at what I do.  But a well written book addressing the

topic as a

legit language (albeit, small language), would help the flash effort more

than anything.

>From what I've seen from you Branden, I would definitely buy your book

if you devoted it to the instruction of  action scripting.

This is not to suggest we need another "mavis beacon teaches advanced flash

4".

Beginning flashers could use a more regimented course book for AS that

instructed and explained- not just showed.


<grovel>if I was going to a one day course on action scripting, yours would

be a wise choice </grovel>

Subject: FLASH: Advanced Flash Techniques class coming soon!



| Hey folks! Team Figleaf and myself are currently developing the most

| intensive, hands-on, process-based actionscripting class out there! The

| first class will be taught in July by yours truly.  For those of you who

| don't know, I have been teaching the official Macromedia intro to Flash,

| advanced Flash and Generator courses for some time now, in fact I know a

few

| of you who I have been privledged enough to teach.  This class will show

you

| all of the tips, tricks, techniques and processes with which you can start

| making cutting-edge actionscript-based projects.

|

| Here's the official release info:

|

| ADVANCED FLASH TECHNIQUES ($395): This 1-day intensive class takes you

| through the complex world of advanced Flash programming techniques.  The

| bulk of this class will be hands-on experimentation -- creating some of

the

| most exciting ActionScript based effects on the web.  You will also learn

| how to approach creating your own techniques.  The first session of this

| class will be July 28, 2000.  Sign up soon -- space is limited!

|

| You can sign up for the class at our web site: http://www.figleaf.com.  I

| also added a couple of additional Flash classes, namely Flash Quick Start

| (1-day introductory class) and Introduction to ActionScript (2-day Flash

| "programming" class).  We also scheduled a second Flash/Generator boot

camp

| for July 17-21.  If you have any questions, let me know.
