Actionscript Basics - Class Files 02.12.2006 | |
| Spring Digital approached me again with an interesting project. Preparing a Class for their designers to explain a little bit the basics of Actionscripting. I never did something like this before, I mean being a teacher and doing a 4hours session about anything. So I didn't know how it was going to work.
The first idea I had about it was doing my own powerpoint/keynote thingie (I called it keydoob ;)) to prepare slides and keep a bit of structure for the class. Then I had to prepare all the contents and that's where I had some problems as I just didn't know how to prepare something and guess that will take 4 hours to explain answering the possible questions, so as I added a bit more of content just in case.
I had to do the same class twice, for 2 groups of designers, so after doing the first one I amended a bit the slides and I was able to explain everything a bit better.
Although the class was supposed to be about the basics of Actionscript I think I really said a lot of stuff, if I was totally new it would probably damage my mind ;) But I wanted to give a bit of info about everything and stuff that they will probably find at some point, and maybe whenever they test about something they will remember the class and me saying something about it, so they would have a bit of idea or they will feel that they're doing things properly.
So, for the non-attendants (you), I'm afraid I don't have a video or anything of me blabling and blabling but the good news are that I will share the slides, the source file of keydoob, and also the files I created in each class, with the source code (.fla) so you can check some actionscript code if you feel like doing it :)

| Oh yeah, that's quite a lot of content for a single class :-)
Glad to see you taught them the Golden Rule (don't repeat yourself). If only 50% of the coders did it...!

SORRY! Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
