FLASH: Real World Flash Workshops: Jan/Feb 2001

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Real World Flash is offering a couple of Flash 5 workshops this month and

next that I thought might interest you or someone you know. The workshops

provide the opportunity to learn Flash 5 quickly, are less expensive than

most local schools, and are scheduled during the day for those who can't

commit to a series of evening classes. One I will be teaching alone, the

other will be co-led by Sibyl Perkins of Green Paint Graphics. Most

participants hear of these workshops through word-of-mouth (or

word-of-email), so I'd appreciate your passing this message along.


Thanks and Happy New Year to you.
