ActionScript 3.0 From the Ground Up is fast-paced, and covers a large number of topics intended to provide a general overview of the ActionScript 3.0 programming language. Here are some tips to help you keep up with the day's intensity:
- New programmers: don't worry if you don't understand every detail. Use the course to gain exposure to key programming fundamentals.
- Familiarize yourself with the course material ahead of time at: http://moock.org/lectures/groundUpAS3/
- Get plenty of sleep and be ready for a taxing day.
- Review and practice what you've learned after the course. For step-by-step review of course material, read Essential ActionScript 3.0 (O'Reilly 2007).
- Turn off your laptop/phone/pda for the day. The fewer distractions the better.
