Learning AS: too many options!
I wanted to learn Actionsctipts for quite some time, but couldn’t decide where to start from? Not that I couldn’t find a way, on the contrary, I found there were too many! I googled and found tons of working sample codes, readymade fla game files, random forums, tutorials, (mostly written by school-kids – some of them are pretty awesome though!) video tutorials (follow-my-steps types)…. I was rather disillusioned with the bulk of information available around, whereas hardly a handful of them were helpful (with due respect to all the people who spend countless hours on making those tutorials, I wish to request them to clearly mention the target audience and difficulty level)!
To add to my despair, I was so busy with my full-time day-time job that I was unable to ensure some dedicated time or commitment towards learning it. I have done programming before, so I knew learning this one would not be a challenge, but I wanted something helps me to kick-start with the gaming techniques.. And I wanted a very no-nonsense and straightforward dive.
Ever heard the word of wisdom – Books are men’s best friend? Online Tutorials and Forums can support learning, but books are amazing for getting a formal start.
I will post about some real good books very soon. I have read a good few books in last few months. Currently I am comparing them.
