Ask HN: Any ActionScript Programmers in Attendance?
I am planning to learn AS3 for personal and professional reasons. I have very, very little programming background and was hoping for advice on the best sources to begin my education.
I know that learning by doing is the best way to move forward. I was hoping for advice on any online tutorials or books that you have found helpful for someone in my position.
Thanks for all the help!!
- rmobin 17y agoI recently got interested in flash games development for fun, and found this book to be pretty helpful: Foundation Game Design with Flash (http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1430218215 http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1430218215). It doesn't assume any previous programming or flash experience, plus you get to make games!
- chaosprophet 17y agoIf you're familiar with Javascript, AS3 would be quite easy to grasp. Even without prior knowledge of any ECMAScript-compliant language, AS3 is quite easy to learn. If you are planning to make games using AS3, then you might want to look at this: http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11010.aspx http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/1...
