Late last year I wrote a new curriculum for developing Flash Applications using ActionScript 3.  The class has been a huge success and continues to fill classrooms with students eager to learn what’s new in AS3.

The class teaches how to program in AS3 and gets into the nitty gritty with new features like e4x (oh e4x how I love the).  Students also get to build Asteroids from scratch and learn about moving instances across the stage, dynamically instantiating them, and even building Flash applications with OOP (if you’re down with OOP..yeah you know me).

If you haven’t checked it out take a look at the outline.  It runs every month and I’ll look forward to seeing you there.

Oh yeah here is a sample of the Asteroids game:

Once your done you can build on the foundation to build other games or add new features (like a start screen or lives).
