Customer Reviews & Comments
After spending the weekend going through this course, I can say that I've learned more flash skills than I have using books over the course of months. Kyle's course presents the material, from basic to fairly advanced, in very clear fashion; you watch a movie version of the flash interface, and see the cursor move through it; the quicktime movies let you see exactly what she's doing while you listen to her narrate her moves every step of the way. (You even see her make the odd mistake, which she then shows you how to undo.) Her approach to workflow (which she hardly mentions but nevertheless constantly exemplifies) is a really valuable aspect of the course. I was immediately able to make a couple of my own reasonably complex flash spots and felt very confident doing so; previously I've had to constantly refer to books, and made lots of frustrating mistakes as I went along. I now feel able to actually utilize the various tools and techniques taught by Kyle, and to go beyond the specifics of the course to do my own work. I'm also in a position to understand some of the more complex stuff in other books I own, and put it to use. Two recommendations: I'd suggest copying the entire CD-Rom to your hard drive, and running set-up from there; this avoids having to run the course from your CD-Rom drive, which may slow down the quicktime presentations. Second, I went through the entire course once just watching and listening, and then again while doing all the exercises; I think this made the process more effective. The 140 page workbook described in the publisher's review does not come with the course; the workbook you get is just a brief outline of each lesson with lots of blank space for your notes. But it doesn't matter: Kyle's presentation is very effective, and the online text that is included is a valuable, well-written resource. This was a very worthwhile investment and I'm glad I made it.
