Build a game
from scratch
in ONE DAY!

Workshop Flash Flex


After the success and feedback from the first edition (sold out), I decided I'll be running this workshop again in a few different places this year. Two workshops in Geneva and another two in London were great, and I am really happy that so many people without a coding background really enjoyed it, and some are even taking it a few steps further. If you want your city to be part of my tour, please subscribe on the side-bar or contact me, as I plan next venues depending on the amount of interested people.


Are you a curious mind and always wanted to learn more about programming and didn't know where to start?

Are you a designer and would like to add coding to your skill-set and interactivity to your projects?

Already a coder but would like to learn about this versatile ActionScript 3 language?

Could your team benefit from this workshop?


Then keep reading:

The approach will be relaxed and fun (and effective): attendees will build a simple game from scratch in this ONE DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOP, and will learn several advanced concepts and useful tricks along the way. No previous coding (or even Flash) knowledge needed at all. No scary technical jargon will be used to make things sound complex, because they are not.


No previous coding experience required!

ACTIONSCRIPT 3 is the ideal language to learn how to program, specially thanks to how easy it is to use and manipulate images and graphic elements, and adding interactivity. The approach will be in the most accessible way, actually without computers in the first hour, using attendees on stage to explain in a practical way how a program works and "enact" concepts like variables, objects, functions, loops and conditions. Then, it's hands-on and the pace will progressively get more and more interesting.

Everything you will build can be deployed in your computer, the web and even MOBILE DEVICES (iPhone and Android). You’ll take all that code with you and can experiment further on your own. And you’ll be guided on how to go further and presented with a lot of useful resources.

Duration: About 9 to 11 hours, depending on the group rhythm, no-one is left behind. Everyone will learn A LOT about Flash & Flex, and of course, coding, which can be applied to other languages apart from AS3.
