I traveled to London yesterday to do an “In-the-Brain” session on ActionScript 3.0 with the wonderful people at SkillsMatter.

Had a nice group of enthusiastic people turn up, gave away a few copies of my “Object-Oriented ActionScript 3.0” book and went out to the pub afterwards. This session was a little teaser for the “Core ActionScript: Object Oriented ActionScript in Practice” course that I’ll be teaching with them starting in April.

Thought I’d share the slides for those of you that weren’t able to attend. Nothing fancy but always enjoy looking back at the Flash authoring environment throughout the years. We’ve come a long way!

I’m really looking forward to my In-the-Brain session at SkillsMatter in London next Wednesday evening, February 13th.

I’ll be covering the basics of ActionScript 3.0, new features of the language and several examples of inspirational projects (mostly from the vibrant open source Flash community) that show the power of the new virtual machine that was introduced with Flash Player 9.

If you’re in the area and want to attend this free event, just register on their website.

Starting in a April I’ll also be teaching the 2-day “Core ActionScript: Object Oriented ActionScript in Practice” course — the first few dates have been announced on the SkillsMatter website. Further dates for my “Object-Oriented ActionScript 3.0″ course in the Benelux will be coming soon.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

I’m excited to announce that I’ve finally got my training curriculum worked out and will start delivering courses on ActionScript 3.0, Flex and Adobe AIR in early 2008.

As many of you know I’ve spent most of last year traveling and speaking at various conferences. I saw this as a great opportunity to try out different ideas, get feedback and fine tune my training material. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and constructive and would hereby like to thank everyone that sent in their thoughts.

I’ve joined forces with training partners SkillsMatter (UK, Ireland and Scandinavia) and Multimediacollege (Belgium, Luxembourg) to deliver these courses and am available for custom training and consultancy worldwide.

More information as the courses roll out, in the meanwhile I’ve got a first event happening at Multimediacollege:

» AfterHours, January 17th - An indepth look at AIR API’s

I look forward to the first training events kicking off in the next few months. If you’d like more information on the various courses and training solutions feel free to get in touch!
