Anybody I know that I consider good at programming in a certain language, is proficient in at least 2 other languages as well... kinda goes without saying, but most programmers do know more than one language. After all, it's not necessarily the language that makes a developer, it's the conceptual understanding of everything else, design patterns, syntax, best practices, etc.
In my experience, anybody that only knows ActionScript, is not that great at it and I would not consider them developers. - Taka On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 3:08 PM, Dave Watts <[email protected]> wrote: > > So would you say it would be advantageous for aspiring Flash programers > to > > learn C#? > > Or leave it alone, not needed?
