ActionScript 1:1 is a free training resource that combines video tutorials, documentation and sample files to teach you the basics of ActionScript 3.0 using Flash Professional CS4. The course is specifically designed for Flash designers and animators who want to add some custom interaction using ActionScript 3.0 but need a little bit of help getting started. Doug starts off with the very basics and then gradually explains more ActionScript that will make your designs and animations interactive and dynamic. He makes it very easy to understand and I’m sure you’ll be coding ActionScript 3.0 in no time.
ActionScript 1:1 is available on Adobe, through RSS and on iTunes. See Doug’s blog for the links to the videos and the sample projects.

The set consists of a button component, contacts list component, list component, media data component, popup component and scrollbar component. They’re all very easy to use and also customizable.
Kudos to Nokia for releasing these! Flash on!

A few weeks ago, most of us on the Platform Evangelism team reached out to the developer community, offering free Adobe Flex Builder 3 licenses to unemployed developers so they can learn a new skill and raise their profile. Needless to say that we were swamped with email requests. Today, this is now a more formal offering, with information and access to the program available at https://freeriatools.adobe.com/learnflex/
To get you up and running with Flex in no time, Safari Books Online is offering a free 60-day subscription to a collection of books on Flex 3 and related RIA development technologies.

Aaah… Summer holidays… The perfect time to learn something new. Well… For most people anyway. My apologies to those people who don’t have a holiday planned in the summer (like me) but it may be a bit quieter in the office/on the job and that still makes it the perfect time to learn about a new technology.
How about learning Flex in a week for free? We’ve just published a complete set of training videos with the accompanying exercises for you to test your newly learned skills. The training not only covers all the basics but also more advanced topics like creating your own Flex components with custom events and validating and working with data. Go check it out on the Adobe Flex Devnet.

ColdBricks is a free and open source content management system specially tailored for highly modular websites like portals and dashboards. The current version runs on ColdFusion 7, 8 and Railo 2
I was immediately curious to see it in action. The ColdBricks website has a fully working live demo and I am totally impressed! This is a great piece of programming and it’s free and completely open source. Go ahead and try it yourself! I am sure you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I am. This really is a serious competitor for the Drupals and Joomlas out there and it runs on ColdFusion ;-)
