Who is the course for?

This course requires an intermediate to advanced knowledge of Actionscript 3. You should be comfortable writing and using your own custom classes, working with events (eg. addEventListener, removeEventListener, custom events) and working with the display list (eg. addChild, Sprite).

Although the course is based on Flash using an external code editor, it is also suitable for Flex developers.

What will you learn?

The course applies the core concepts of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Design Patterns to Actionscript 3.

Day 1 looks at the fundamental concepts of OOP and the reasoning behind them. You will gain essential background knowledge and work through Actionscript 3 code to deepen your understanding.

Day 2 will apply these techniques to typical Actionscript projects, with lots of hands-on programming. It reinforces the general concepts of OOP and you will use them to solve real-life programming tasks. Common design patterns are introduced and used throughout the day.

Day 3 of the course looks at a range of further OOP concepts that play an important role in every-day Actionscript 3 programming. You will also be introduced to the concepts of meta-patterns such as Model-View-Controller (MVC). Workshop-style discussions towards the end help to re-examine the course content and gain an understanding of more complex areas outside the scope of the course itself.
