hahaha how pathetic..

first Microsoft tries to implement www.live.com ... but google said **** that..

now they try to make their own version of flash? LOL good luck.

 

Its all part of their plan to take over the world.

 

my 44 hours experience with flash have been hell!

Dead end classes FTW!

 

Yea seriously. It's one thing if they're gonna just put out another program to animate with but if they want to make their own programming language for it too thats gonna be funny. I already spent a whole quarter learning actionscript 2. Now that actionscript 3 is out and people are getting into it I don't think anyone's gonna want to revert to something else... especially the multimedia teachers who would have to learn it themselves.

 

IIRC, silverlight is based on... drumroll please... .net.

so anyone who's .net'ing will be able to use SL with no issues.

flash people shouldnt think about jumping ship unless their dev house is turning to .net.


my warning to adobe though. remember what happened to netscate when they sat on their asses and watched MS slowing but surely capture the browser market while their heads got big. and did nothing to stop it.

 

Actionscript is the bane of my existence. I hate programming sh*t in the first place. I just design stuff and do the graphics. =l

Stop();
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("fail");
}
//I hate actionscript

 

i have the artistic capabilities of a gnat... (no offense to all gnats out there...)

that's why i program...

 

Haha, that's why there should be "web design teams", not "graphic designers who need to know how program HTML, DHTML, AJAX, Javascript, PHP, CSS, and Actionscript is a bonus, plus the kitchen sink." Those job postings depress the hell out of me.

 

i agree but thats the way it is.

 

i wonder if the newest IE will flip it upsidedown too till they find a fix

 

thats the way it is.. but it makes sense.. why not pay one guy x amount of money instead of two guys x amount of money.
thats why i learn design and programming.

 

Word

The more you know the more employable you are. Combine that with a BA in Marketing and your set.

 

SAME EXACT THING HERE!

I couldn't design a rock, but I could program it to do anything you want.

 

yea it just sucks. currently im going for a certificate in web development and design. but i also plan to take programming/database classes as well. Mysql/php/ruby on rails/ ajax.

 

Yeh, I remember the day I finally set my eyes on a web design degree, I felt I had accomplished so much, and was in store for so much more. I came home and told my mom who also had her friend there. Turns out both her sons were getting a degree in web design. My cousin told my mom he was also getting a degree in web design about a month before, I told my best friend, who told me his other friend was getting the same thing. I then decided I wasn't going to be doing that.
