Monday Workshops @ IMD — Flash Platform with Erik Loyer
December 3 — Flash Platform Workshop
POSTPONED
Extra Special Instructor: Erik Loyer
Flash is no longer just a plug-in; it has evolved into a massive suite of tools, services and techniques called the Flash Platform. Used for everything from character animation to interactive video to full-featured applications that rival their desktop counterparts, Flash plays a major role in shaping how users experience content on the Internet. This workshop will introduce the Flash Platform with specific emphasis on programming in ActionScript 3.0 and MXML and the basics of working in Flash and Flex (and how you decide when to use which). Requires a networked laptop.
Experience with object-oriented programming is desirable.
Please note carefully — workshop participants will need to have access to Flash CS3 and Flex Builder 2. Some of the ZML lab computers are so equipped with these programs, but it may be better to obtain these for your own personal computer. Flash CS3 is available for a free trial version here:
