Do You Speak Flex? Part Two: Recruiting the Right Experience

0 September 9, 2009

It’s imperative to identify what your requirements are and the number of resources that you’ll need to address them. You must determine what your team needs to accomplish before you begin to assemble it, otherwise you risk redundancy, inefficiency, and slowed or stalled projects. It sounds elementary, but this step can save you a lot of headaches later on.

March 24, 2009

e tried to write a conventional computer manual in two days, and the experience has made me reconsider the conventions of computer manuals. The computer field is still in the kindergarten stage of exploring serious questions of how people learn, questions at the center of psychology and pedagogy for many decades.

By Andy Oram
December 13, 2008

Creative Commons is more dependent than ever before on the funds of individuals. More and more people these days are grabbing pictures, text, and other random goods they find online and using them in their own presentations or creative efforts; some of us even build businesses on open contributions. All of us should be promoting the Creative Commons, which has provided licenses to support such sharing in 50 countries and is working with people in many more.

By David Tucker
July 14, 2008

My recent Lynda.com series, AIR for Flash Developers, was recently released in the Lynda.com Online Training Library. In this series, I cover most all of the AIR API and how to integrate it with your Flash files. As I stated on my blog, this series is not for everyone. It does require a working knowledge of ActionScript 3 and Flash CS3. However, if you need to brush up on these skills, Lynda.com provides additional series that cover most every aspect of Flash and ActionScript training.
