Free book idea, which I got close to writing a few chapters of during the height of my ActionScript programming heyday: Flash for Programmers.
Getting started with Flash development is difficult for CS-trained programmers. Most tutorials seem aimed at designers or animators. I haven't seen a good description of the end-to-end tool suite for flash or a list of best practices (e.g., using Flash for animated assets, exporting to a SWC and importing symbols as objects).
- dgant 16y agoThat's definitely true, about the small intersection between {Flash fluent people} and {CS/software engineering fluent people}. My last company tried to find such people several times without success. And indeed, that also means that many or most of the AS3/Flash resources out there are geared towards the copy-and-paste crowd.
