I was Flash developer from 2006-2010. Flash used ActionScript which is/was based on the ECMAScript standard.
Since then, I develop primarily in Javascript, based on the ECMAScript standard.
Looking back, I don't even think anyone could find the seam in my career.
- dehrmann 7y agoThis makes the article somewhat silly because the demand shifted over to JS, HTML5, Canvas, etc., and because ActionScript is in the same family as Javascript, people are already halfway there. It was very evolutionary.
- j45 7y agoTo be polite, the article shows how little they understand the topic they are writing about.
- woutr_be 7y agoSame here, I switched from ActionScript to JavaScript fairly easily, and now almost 10 years later I'm well rounded in both front-end and back-end.
- reportgunner 7y agothank you. The article is really silly because it fails to understand that Flash was not one-of-a-kind work assignment on a computer, whereas it was just a tool to do web animation. It is not like web animation has become obsolete.
