Flash CS3 is here!!!!

Just learned from Mike Downey's post that today Adobe announced Creative Suite 3 which includes a huge new release of Flash, Flash CS3 Professional.

This is huge cause now you can actually do AS 3.0 development in Flash. A host of other new features are also listed in the post as well as on Adobe's website. One of my favourite new feature is:

Convert animation to ActionScript
Instantly convert timeline animations into ActionScript 3.0 code that can be easily edited, reused, and leveraged by developers. Copy animations from one object to another.

Project Managing E-Learning

Just completed a book called "Project Managing E-Learning" on my org's Intranet. We are lucky to have an amazing intranet and access to loads of books online. So, any free time can be worthwhile (trying to) read and learn something or the other.

I have been into managing e-learning projects and I found a lot to learn from the book. I must say it's one of the few good books I have read about managing E-Learning projects. The author seem to have worked (and suffered) a great deal managing e-Learning.

You can check out details of the book here.
