: mmm... programming language...
Ah... it feels so good to be sitting in a classroom. It's a feeling I haven't had in quite some time. But I'm back for training now, in three days of intense Actionscript 3 immersion.
I need it, so desperately, if I am ever going to understand Flash.
Learning Flash without learning actionscript is like trying to learn Dreamweaver without having a firm grasp on HTML. It's just not going to work. You need to understand the language before you can start checking the grammar. I can't just build it and hope it works. I have to be able to fix it when it doesn't work even though it essentially should work.
And although the class hasn't actually started yet (clearly, because have I EVER been the kind of student who would sit and type in their blog during class?! The answer is no, people...) I think it'll go quite well.
After all, I did find the Mac. And I managed to turn it on. That's half the battle right there.
