Developer Basics Overview

In this online Flash tutorial you'll learn everything you need to know to begin developing the right way. We've noticed that many people in the industry don't even know the core Flash foundations. There are a lot of resources online, but few that concentrate on those core foundations: this forces new designers to simply copy other's code to get into development.

It's like building a house with no foundation. Might look fairly good for a short while, until you open the door and it falls down around your ears! Flash is the same: anyone can put objects on the stage that look great: the problem is, they do nothing. Copied code most often doesn't do what you really want it to: without the core foundations, you can't change it for your own unique design.

We provide a cohesive, step-by-step structured course to teach you to start building and becoming a developer. Our goal is to provide you with the basic building blocks to give you real skills to work with Flash Cs5 (Cs4, Cs3 too.)

During the next 11 hours we're going to break down those core foundations (not exclusive to Flash, by the way.) These building blocks are also used for Javascript and other languages. In this free tutorial, of course, you'll learn them with relation to Flash.

We teach these core foundations through articles, videos and exams that are exclusive to our website members. If you're viewing this video anywhere but our site, please go to www.02geek.com (from zero to geek faster than a 66 Shelby Mustang) and join. It's a subscription-based site; your trial membership includes our free Flash tutorial

Who is this course for? Designers, developers, students, animators. Our goal is for you to learn the core foundations which will enable you to leap forward and build real development skills without having to sit in a classroom.

At the end of these 11 hours you'll clearly understand the Flash environment and the developer foundations of ActionScript 3.0. Once you know and understand these Flash foundations, you can leverage this skill set and understanding when you move into other languages or ActionScript with coding basics such as variables, operators, conditionals, functions, objects, loops, arrays and much more.

You'll also take an online Flash exam. We suggest taking the exam prior to working through the 11 hour course, because it will filter out what you already know and tell you which classes you need to take in that course. With 02geek, there's no boredom: you never sit through material you already know, and the new stuff is presented in an original, fun format.

So welcome to your free Starting Point course: let the fun begin!

Video Transcript

00:00Welcome to the Developer Basics. I'm Ben Fal, and I'm really, really excited to introduce you to this, our latest 11-hour training that really focuses on the Developer Basics.

00:12And in it, you'll find everything you need to know about how to start developing in the right way.

00:17One of the main things that we really wanted and noticed in the industry, as someone that works deeply in the industry and meets many people, including people that are actually developing, designers, developers, people that are just interested,

00:29is that the core foundations, the most important things in development, most people don't know.

00:33And because they don't know them, they're really lacking in their capabilities, not because they can't, they're just are missing some really important foundations.

00:41There's a lot of things online, there's a lot of books, but there's a very, very limited amount of training that actually focuses on those core foundations.

00:50And because of it, a lot of designers, a lot of young developers find it really, really frustrating to figure out the way how to get into development.

00:57There are definitely a lot of tutorials online, but there's nothing really that cohesively is a structured step by step.

01:03This is what you need to know to be able to start building and start becoming a developer.

01:07So our whole goal is building these really, really, really basic building blocks that are going to give you those skills.

01:14In the next 11 hours, we're going to break down all those core foundations, and they're not as exclusive to Flash because if you're a developer and you don't even care about Flash,

01:23if you care about JavaScript, if you care about mobile, if you care about a lot of other topics, these core building blocks are language agnostic.

01:32Even though we're using Flash for these training, we're learning about core foundations.

01:37The way we do it is through videos, through articles, and through exams that are exclusive to our website members.

01:44If you're watching this video at any other place but our website, then please join our site, everythingfla.com, and register, join our membership.

01:53It's a subscription-based site, which you'll find in a tryout membership.

01:58Who is this for?

01:59So first of all, it's, as I said before, it's for designers, developers, students, animators, and hopefully you.

02:04Really, the goal of this training is to make sure that you know those core foundations, which then will enable you to leap forward and build your development skills.

02:14So really, hopefully what you get out of this in the end of these 11 hours is you'll have a very clear understanding about the Flash environment, developer foundations, and ActionScript 3.0.

02:24Now, as I said before, even though Flash environment and ActionScript 3.0 are the tools which we are learning, they're not exclusive to Flash.

02:32After you know these developer foundations, you could leverage the skill set and understanding to know how to leverage and use these type of functionalities.

02:40Also, when you move into other topics such as working in other languages or ActionScript with variables, operators, conditionals, functions, objects, loops, arrays, and much more.

02:51So hopefully you'll join us and watch these 11 hours, and please take the exams.

02:55And if you're thinking that maybe you know part of the material, then it makes even more sense for you to first take the exam because through our exams, you'll be able to filter out videos that you already know.

03:06Instead of watching the videos that you already know, you could take an exam, and the exam will filter out whatever you don't need to know and whatever you need to know, you'll watch.

03:15So welcome, and please join us for the next video.
