[flexcoders] Please tell me if this is a good way to learn AS3??
I have find limited examples on AS3 therefore I am using a lot of Java programs and pretty much switching them into the AS3 language and run them and it seems to work. From your expertise is it a good way to learn AS3? (Of course I am making changes as Java is similar to AS3 but not identical)
Re: [flexcoders] Please tell me if this is a good way to learn AS3??
IMHO this is a bad idea. Every language has its specificities. As3 and Java do not achieve the same goals. Why don't you just stick with tutorials, documentation, and learn the language and its best practices from the start ? This should keep you busy for a while. Then you can start making parallels between as3 and Java. 2010/3/3 fred44455 fred44...@yahoo.com I have find limited examples on AS3 therefore I am using a lot of Java programs and pretty much switching them into the AS3 language and run them and it seems to work.

If you want to learn AS3, first learn syntax. Since you know Java I assume this is not a problem because it's almost the same. Then, focus on learning the framework (what classes are available, etc). Finally, dig into the component lifecycle. This is the hardest but is important to know how components live in order to build your custom components in a way that integrates perfectly into the core. I agree, don't just copy java. Use tutorials and definitely take advantage of anything that is open source. Seeing how others did something will help you overcome a lot of hurdles. -Jake On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM, primo411 primo...@gmail.com wrote: IMHO this is a bad idea.

The best resources and easy to learn are Lynda.com atleast for me. Once you get over the basics then you can follow the advanced tutorials from kirupa.com and related websites.
