Ah, back in the day. The wonderful thing about back in the day is that you have distanced yourself from it enough that all the crappy things have zero meaning any more, and all that is left is the glory. Back in the day I used to play at being a developer. I remember I would create little websites using WYSIWYG editors and animated gifs like they were going out of style. For those of you who don't know, by the way, they DID go out of style, so you can take them off your site. Please.
Anyway, way back then a friend of mine pointed me in the direction of a little program called "Flash". I was keen to try it out, and after just a short while I was creating what were basically interactive animated gifs! OOoooo.....
Fast forward to today, after several years of absorbing information about databases, class structures, object oriented programming, and a million other things that would bore many people to tears, I have once again fallen well and truly in love with Flash. In fact, I'm not ashamed to say that I think Flash is the best thing to hit the internet since, ummmmm, well, since ever dammit.
Basically this newfound programming rapture has erupted from my attempt at becoming a certified Flash Developer. While studying for the exam I have discovered things about Flash that I never knew, things like being able to read the ID3 tags on MP3's. I had no idea flash could do that... Or how to work with people's web cams. I had a vague idea flash could do that, but until I finished reading about it, I didn't realize how fun it could be. The more I read about it the more excited I get, I want to rush home and just play with Flash MX 2004 until my eyeballs pop out and my brain explodes. Anyway, if I come up with anything cool from all the stuff I'm learning I'll be sure to post a link here....
