 AS3 Workshop Notes Posted (167 slides!)Posted on June 4, 2008 by Grant SkinnerLast year I ran an intensive, one day workshop on ActionScript 3 covering a wide range of topics including AS3 / AVM2, migrating from AS2, runtime errors, the event model, the display list, regular expressions, E4X (XML), loading data and assets, optimization, and more. Today I released all 167 slides from the workshop on my talks page at gskinner.com/talks/. I’m not planning any workshops in the immediate future, and I thought the notes would be useful for developers learning AS3. The content ranges from basic to intermediate, and includes a few obscure tips and architectural ideas. I haven’t looked over the notes since I ran the workshop, so please pardon any errors.

Funny how I didn't remember I could subclass Event... Somehow. Anyway, great read through. That and reminding me of BinarySocket are gonna help. Thanks, mon.

Thanks for making this available - I've been finding it difficult to get into AS3 but this is really encouraging.
It's gonna be worth the effort!
