This
nice two-days workshop was held by a visiting lecturer from our partner
University FH Joanneum, Austria: Didi Mosbacher. It was rather
interesting for the game developer students since our main goal for the
workshop was to create a Tamagotchi game application and publish it to a
tablet device or smart phone. |

The point in the class was to learn some ActionScript 3, which isn’t taught at our school. So it really was an interesting - and useful - topic! There weren’t so many students in this workshop which is a shame. All game development students could have gotten some nice advice.

You can’t really learn AS3 in two days but the workshop gave an excellent example on what you actually can do in a short time if you are enthusiastic about Flash. Even though Flash is bit by bit getting outdated, you should remember that there’s always something to continue its path. Mr. Mosbacher introduced to us the AIR, which most probably will replace the features of Flash in the future.
