I’m due on an advanced Flash course in early June, which should be fun and show me the path to making more use of the package into the bargain. Look out for the addition of pointless pages on the site called something like “The Lab” (kudos to flammablejam.com!) or “The Playground” where I’ll get to do pointless motion effect Flash clips in the name of experimentation!
Seriously, though – Flash 5 is the best reason yet to take Flash as seriously as I’ve taken PHP in the last year.
It’s been an interesting week, checking out all of the sites re-designed for May 1st. I did notice several sites that had either boycotted the event or missed the deadline altogether.
Of the ones that had made it, it was good to see some fresh new looks out there. And if it was the intention of Reboot to freshen up the web, if only a little, then it was a job well done!
It was with great sadness I discovered that the Daily Radar site had come to the end of the line today. It has been a great source for news and the weekly Vent column was a fantastically balanced piece of journalism.
Hopefully the demise is only temporary, what with the uk version of the site staying live, perhaps it might return when the financial waters are less muddy.
Best of luck to everyone involved with DailyRadar.com – your words, pictures and spirit will be sorely missed.
