It’s going to be a lot of hours split into 3 courses in JavaScript and 3 courses in Adobe Flash. (split between starter, medium and advanced topics ).

I would love to hear from you what you would want to learn in a course like this? are there things you find in general hard in programing or in animating things?

you can learn more about this project and what i’m up to [right here](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ageek/learn-to-animate-with-code-video-training).

By the way the new forum looks really nice!  
This course is going in a different path as it’s animations are all based off the GreenSock library. But ill add extra referrals to your book as i think the course and your book as extra reading as would probably be a great match together (once the thing goes live).

I’m excited for what you are doing! The more animation content out there, the better haha.

Beyond the GreenSock library, if you are going to focusing on frameworks, there are some really good ones that I’ve either used or seen others use at work:

It may be cool to see a quick rundown of all of them.

Also, glad you like the new forums. The performance is terrible right now, but we can hopefully get that to be better really soon.

Cheers,

I’m actually probably going to release a course on jQuery with my publisher (not as an independent still open ended the details on it ) so I’ll defiantly add a chapter on animation in it. CreateJS is a critical one for me as well to figure out when as its part of Adobe Flash stuff and my heart is in Flash always was 😛

so many things worth covering ! 😄
