The last class we have at the university is called "Web development with Actionscript". So I've been messing around with AS3, Tweener and Papervision3D. And I must say that I'm impressed with what Actionscript has to offer.
Actionscript 3.0 is a major change from 2.0. It finally feels lika a real language. We developers that are used to Java, Javascript, PHP 5, C# will feel at home with Actionscript. It's based on the ECMA standard so it's easy to use and structured.
It takes a while to getting used to event based programming. I guess making flash projects are more like working with a software. But I love it. Finally some creativity into web development, the possibilities are endless.
I love that I have to deal with animation as well as functionality. I've missed doing the designer stuff. I will continue with AS3 even after the university studies.
I'll also post my degree project made in Flex Builder, Papervision3D, Tweener, Actionscript when it's done.
I decided that the best way to learn Actionscript is to force myself to only work with Actionscript. I now have 10 weeks of constant Actionscript programming in front of me.
