Getting Started with Flash Development
I have to admit my secret shame: I find Flash programming to be pretty fun. You get a lot of bang per line of code, and you can distribute your results from your web page. (Plus Adobe has a compelling incentive to keep Flash working cross-platform, unlike all the browser developers.) Or, if you want, you can build it into an AIR app later.
For the record, I don’t represent Adobe in any way, though I am friends with a person who works there. :-) However, Adobe has been generous in their Linux support, so I am inclined to promote them over their main competitor.
So lets say you’re a developer like me who doesn’t tend to use GUI development environments, and loves command line stuff, and doesn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a Flash tool that doesn’t even run under Linux (though some people might have CS3/4 running with WINE). Fortunately, Adobe has you (me) covered!
