About 02geek

Welcome to 02geek! Originally launched as EverythingFLA in 2010, our site was dedicated to teaching Flash and ActionScript 3 at a time when Flash was the cutting-edge technology for creating rich, interactive web experiences. Over the years, as the web landscape evolved, so did we. By 2014, we rebranded to 02geek to reflect our expanded focus on modern web technologies, including JavaScript, React, HTML, and much more.

For over a decade, 02geek has been at the forefront of web development education, helping countless beginners and experienced developers alike navigate the ever-changing world of programming.

Our Evolution

Our journey began as a passionate project to create the most comprehensive and engaging online learning experience for ActionScript 3 and Flash enthusiasts. As Flash began to phase out, we broadened our scope to embrace the new standards of the web. 02geek became our hub for membership-based courses, while 02skills was created as a marketplace for single courses. Today, we are unifying both brands under 02geek to simplify our offerings and provide a more cohesive experience for our users.

What's Next for 02geek?

We are excited to announce that we are refocusing our mission! All the existing content will be made completely free to access, empowering learners of all levels to dive into foundational courses without barriers. As we transition, our goal is to introduce two distinct learning paths:

1. Starter Content: Perfect for beginners, this collection includes essential courses in JavaScript, HTML, React, and other foundational topics. All starter content will remain free to ensure everyone has access to high-quality education.

2. Working Pro Content: Designed for professional developers and those looking to advance their careers, this track will focus on deeper, more complex topics, such as advanced JavaScript patterns, state management in React, and the latest in web development trends. Our future plans will include a new strategy for monetizing this advanced content while maintaining the quality and community spirit we've always championed.

About Ben Fhala

02geek and its predecessors were founded by Ben Fhala, a developer with a deep passion for teaching and a vision to make learning accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Ben's journey began at age 13 when he started exploring visual programming. His fascination with Flash led him to master multiple versions of ActionScript and, eventually, modern web technologies.

Throughout his career, Ben has worked with industry giants like Target, AT&T, Crayola, Verizon, and many others, building everything from games to multi-user applications. But his true passion has always been education—making complex concepts simple and helping others discover the joy of programming.

Under Ben's guidance, Everything Nice, Inc., the company behind 02geek, continues to innovate and refine the online learning experience, ensuring that every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired.
