here here....this is crucial.

Sounds like MM is address the potential that Flash has for revolutionizing the way Internet-based apps are developed. It will really bridge the gap between software-based apps and browser-based apps. From my view...forget the animation. Keeping the complication of animation inside, and requiring the continued use of the timeline interface will continue to drive away potential app builders. (Maybe a version that moves away from the timeline perspective, and focuses on app "pages", instead?) I'm glad to see this is coming, but really wish that the info was available online for me to work through on my own. I like to learn things on my own, at my pace and time, instead of having to go to the time and expense of attending a class. (Some of us are *very small* businesses without the couple thousand needed to attend a class) Besides, the materials that class attenders will take away from the class will probably be sufficient for self-study, anyway. (Some people are never satisfied, huh?) How can it be in this age of information on the 'Net that MM, which promotes tools to be used in creating online training, is still selling "travel and attend" classes??? Turn them into online tutorials, charge for them (less, I hope), and turn the info loose! I do understand, however, that training is another profit-channel for MM, just like books for Ben... ;o) Rick -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 8:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR FYI, info from the course outline. This MAY change before the course is actually released... Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flash and ColdFusion MX is a 3-day class designed to teach experienced ColdFusion developers how to create powerful internet applications that take advantage of the flexibility of Flash MX, the ease of connectivity of Flash Remoting and the data manipulation power of ColdFusion MX. It is a task-based course that introduces the student to creating rich interfaces using pre-build components in Flash that manipulate dynamic data received from ColdFusion Unit 1: Introducing the Course Unit 2: Introducing the Macromedia Flash MX Interface Unit 3: ActionScript Fundamentals Unit 4: Working with Flash MX UI Components Unit 5. Creating Web Services with ColdFusion Components Unit 6: Using Flash Remoting to Retrieve Dynamic Data Unit 7: Using the DataGrid Component Unit 8: Persisting Data on Client and Server Unit 9: Working with Movie Clips in Flash Unit 10: Reusability: Creating MovieClips from Groups of Elements p.s. I can confirm that it's very task based. Again, there isn't any crap like, "Use this nice shade of red in the background to match the colour of the setting sun." It's very focused on things that can apply to a web application. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
