The PittMFUG was fortunate enough to talk with Colin Moock about his new O’Reilly book, Essential ActionScript 3, how he got started with Flash, Apollo and much more. Colin was nice enough to spending about a half hour chatting with us. We covered a lot of ground and got some great insights from him concerning ActionScript 3 and the Flash Platform.
We are releasing this interview as a special podcast today. You can download the mp3 itself here. Subscribers to the podcast may also access the new podcast on the PittMFUG podcast feed.
Thanks
A big thanks goes to New Perspective for providing the audio recording facilities and expertise and to Mike Rajakovic for his audio engineering know-how.
