Course Description:

'' Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Programmers: Application Development provides application server programmers with no Flash experience the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to build a rich Internet application with Flash. This course focuses exclusively on teaching students what they need to know about the Flash interface and the ActionScript language to build a real-world rich internet application interacting dynamically with the user and retrieving and sending data to XML files, web services, and ColdFusion, Java, or C# classes on the server.
Note: This course has similar content to the Advanced Macromedia Flash MX 2004: Application Development course but is for experienced programmers who have little or no experience with Flash.

Audience
This course is for experienced programmers who are new to Flash and want to learn to create applications with Flash. To gain the most from this class, you should already have:

Experience creating data-base driven web applications
Knowledge of basic programming constructs including loops, functions, arrays, objects, and classes
If you are a ColdFusion programmer, equivalent knowledge from the Fast Track to ColdFusion MX and Advanced ColdFusion MX Development courses, including experience developing with ColdFusion components
