This session is for you. It will start at the beginning answering questions like what is ActionScript, how do I use it, and where does it go again? We'll walk through some of the tools and best practices for getting started and progress to ActionScript basics like variables and functions, basic events and interaction, and working all the way to loops, objects, and arrays. 9am - 12:30pm Sheraton Station Square 300W Station Square Dr. Pittsburgh, PA 15219 $90 - Regular $55 - Students http://www.flashpitt.com/register/ 1360 PA Flashpitt 2009 presents "Beginning ActionScript 3.0" with Wayne Lincoln. 2009-10-15 false http://www.flashpitt.com/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/1360 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/1360/fp-09.gif actionscript, flash, workshop Pittsburgh USA 2009-10-16 Learning a new programming language, authoring environment and platform can be a scary thing, but it doesn't have to be if you have something to relate it back to. In this workshop Julian will demonstrate the process of creating iPhone applications using the IPhone SDK. We'll take a tour through the new tools used to create application, as well as, learn the basics of Objective-C. With each feature shown we'll try to relate or compare it back to things familiar to all of us in Flash and ActionScript. By the end of the workshop attendees should feel confident to go and start learning how to create iPhone applications on their own. Requirements: In order to properly follow along please have a Intel based Mac laptop with the Apple Developer tools and Iphone SDK installed. (More details on where to get these tools will be sent out to workshop attendees prior to the workshop.) 1:30pm - 5:00pm Sheraton Station Square 300W Station Square Dr. Pittsburgh, PA 15219 $90 - Regular $55 - Students http://www.flashpitt.com/register/ Julian Dolce is Director of Creative Technology at Fuel Industries in Ottawa.

The goal from this session is to approach development with thoughts of saving time, reusing code, and being more efficient. We'll do this by looking at basic Object Oriented Programming (OOP), writing classes, custom events, programatic animation, loading external content, and usage of debugging tools. 1:30pm - 5:00pm Sheraton Station Square 300W Station Square Dr. Pittsburgh, PA 15219 $90 - Regular $55 - Students http://www.flashpitt.com/register/ Josh Sager, Multimedia Instructor for the Pittsburgh Technical Institute, is an enthusiastic interactive developer with a passion for sharing. By day he can be found beaming Actionscript to the brains of his pupils and by night you might find him in various coffee shops on the south side building web applications. In 2008 he started an on-campus special interest group called The Grid, which researches alternative methods of user interaction with web technologies.

Detractors say that Flash isn't search engine friendly; Screen readers can't understand Flash content; You can't deeplink to specific pages... You know what? They're wrong. These criticisms are symptoms of misunderstanding by developers on the ways different technologies work together. This workshop will show you how to take a higher level approach focusing on user experience. We'll break down each common critique of Flash, one at a time, and show you how to address them in your work. Attendees will learn how to use HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, XML and Flash to compliment each other in creating the most meaningful experience to the widest audience range. The goal is to feel comfortable making decisions about when and how to use Flash appropriately and to gracefully degrade immersive experiences for Flash disabled devices (like iPhones and iPads). 1498 PA How to build an experience for all types of users (human or otherwise).
