Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
by Slack, on May 26th, 2008
Nothing makes you feel older than trying to learn things. Was it always this hard to pick up a new skill? Is it harder to learn because of my age, or maybe because of all the distractions that age has brought along with it…
Either way, I find myself easily frustrated trying to learn the latest skill in my arsenal. Flash. I’ve always wanted to know how to code ActionScript, and use Flash technologies. So, I bought Flash CS3 and am on my first steps toward understanding Flash and ActionScript. Flash of course would fit in nearly all of my projects, but I have a certain special project I’d really like to use Flash technologies in. I really hope I get somewhere with this project, because it’s something I would really like to see become a reality. Here’s to hoping! I’m sure I will be using Slack’s Place as my little Flash sandbox while I am learning. After all, that is one of the main reasons for this site.
Wish me luck and if you have any tips, links, or pearls of wisdom, please drop me a line! :)
