First off, you may ask why am I writing this? Because I love what I do and I figure that if I can do it anyone can do it.

You may also wonder, “Who am I to tell you how to become a Flash Pro?” Good question.

To answer that I’ll give a brief work background.

I don’t have a degree in CS. In fact, I’ve never had a computer class of any sort. What I’ve learned I’ve done on my own. I have degrees in Philosophy and History and a fairly extensive background in Mathematics, most of which I’ve forgotten.

I started out learning HTML back in the mid 90s. As the technology grew I grew with it. CSS, Javascript, Flash, ASP, so forth.

Now I’m working with the Xbox team prototyping things that you’ll be hearing about in the coming months or years. Way cool stuff and I have a hand in shaping it.

Believe me when I say it, “If I can do it you can do it.” . . . Well, that’s not entirely true. I’ve done a few things that, to my knowledge, no one else has come up with. So, “most of what I can do you can do.” :-)

Seriously, I truly believe that if you have the computer knowledge to make a web page, even something as simple as “Hi there” - then you can learn to be a Flash Master. It just takes desire and persistence.
