haXe Tutorial

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 | ActionScript 3, tutorials, videos | Comments

This tutorial is for anyone who has heard about haXe, but never had the time to figure out how to set it up. If you guys show a lot of interest in learning more about haXe, I’ll put together a few more tutorials on some of the features, but as of right now I have no idea what kind of interest is out there:

Click to view the video in a pop-up. Right-click and “save as” to download the video to your hard drive.

*note – I tried “fast forwarding” through the download/install portions, but the camtasia “clip speed” couldn’t accurately fast forward only the parts I selected.

AS3 Signals Tutorial

AS3 Signals is an awesome open-source project created by Robert Penner that will make you re-think the way you approach events in all of your future projects. I put together this video tutorial (mostly to force myself to learn it) and I’ve been REALLY impressed with it so far. Go ahead and give it a watch:

*note – I just realized that I said, “it’s really, really easy and it’s also really simple” during the video. That’s really just a testament to how easy it is ;)

*second note – thanks for all the votes on video resolution preferences. I’ll be sticking with 1024×768 from here on out.

Preferred Video Tutorial Resolution?

Friday, January 15th, 2010 | announcements | Comments

I’m getting ready to put together some more video tutorials. If you have 2 seconds to spare, please vote in the poll on the right to help me decide what resolution to target. Just fyi, up until now, I’ve always done 1024×768 and I think they’ve worked out pretty well, but now that Youtube is offering full HD, I was wondering if I should take advantage of it.
