Closing out 2008 with Flash ACE Certification

Just a brief update from Open Road Communications... Hope that you're all enjoying the holiday season, whether it's taking you on various journeys or keeping you safe and cozy at home. Last week, before closing the offices for the holidays, ORC added another ACE certification to the list, this time for Flash. Of course, Flash, like Dreamweaver, was previously a Macromedia product that Adobe acquired. Fortunately for fans of both products, Adobe has not discontinued either, but has instead continued to develop their capabilities.

Since 1996, Flash has added visual pizazz, animation and interactivity to the Web. Good usage of Flash can be tricky, and some other technologies (such as CSS and JavaScript) have replicated some of the benefits of Flash. But it remains a viable and attractive option for countless designers. And in recent incarnations, Flash has added XML data interactivity to increase its usefulness and flexibility in more situations. Plus, sometimes you just need a little action on the page or subtle responses to users that Flash can accomplish very well.

Again, if you care to take this or other certification exams in the KC area, you can do so at Centriq Training.

And have a great 2009. We certainly have big things in mind just over that hill.

On the Road,
Eric J. Reid
