Don't worry about having to refer back to the materials. I'm almost a year into programming with AS3 and even though I've got a BS in IT and can program in a few other languages, I still have to refer to AS3 materials quite regularly. I'm betting it's the same case for a lot of developers unless all they do is rehash out the same code and project types over and over.
Like the other post says... work in small chunks. But also be sure to comment your code. You never know when you'll want to use that code again in the future. For example, this last application I built, I would just focus on each custom component until I had it dialed in. Each one had it's challenges and in the future, those things will be a lot easier now that I've got some examples to reference back to. Likewise, there were things I just breezed through because I just recycle code from other projects when those parts were serious challenges in the past. 4 Weeks in isn't enough time to master anything. --- In [email protected], "ellistein52" <ellistei...@...> wrote: > > I have no background in programming , I am close to 54.I am following some > AS3 Lynda.com Essential Training.
