Adobe Flash and beyond…
Flash is now a MUST for programmers, gone are the days that Flash is
just a vector animation tool. You’d be surprised how powerful Adobe
Flash is.
These are some of the major features I can say and have discovered recently:
1.) CSS can format a Flash layout (an external CSS file can format Flash content)
2.) PHP/MySQL integration
3.) XML/RSS reader and using CSS to format the RSS feed.
Here’s a video of my professor having a “free” seminar.

His name is Brendan Sera-Shriar…he has published several books and
is one of the best teachers around. All it takes is Adobe Flash, a
bottle of beer and a few laughs and you’re good to go in the industry.

Here’s one of the projects he did for Seneca@York (Ontario, Canada) just to benefit the students.

So to all techies out there…you’d better start learning Flash or else…you’re gonna be blown away by the competition.
