MY VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE IN MACROMEDIA FLASH

HI EVERY ONE, I AM A FIRST YEAR STUDENT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLAMORGAN WHO IS FOLLOWING A COURSE IN BSc(Hons) INFORMATION SYSTEMS.THIS WAS A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT ME AND VIEW MY PROFILE FOR MORE INFORMATION. IN THIS COURSE I STUDY 6 DIFFERENT MODULES AND THEY ARE:

• PROFESSIONAL & BUSINESS SKILLS
• MATHEMATICS & STATISTICS FOR COMPUTING
• INFORMATION RESOURCES ENGINEERING
• INTERNET APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
• COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
• COMPUTER SYSTEMS & INTERNET TECHNOLOGY

OUT OF THESE THE MODULE THAT I LIKE MOST IS THE INTERNET APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THIS DOES NOT HAVE MUCH THEORY WORK. (AS LONG AS I THINK UP TO NOW). I THINK THIS HAS MORE PRACTICAL WORK. THE OTHER REASON WHY I AM FASCINATED BY THIS IS THAT THE THINGS THEY DO WITH MACROMEDIA FLASH. THEY CREATE BEAUTIFUL SLIDES WITH ANIMATIONS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. THE FIRST DAY IN MY LECTURE ABOUT MACROMEDIA FLASH, I SAW A SLIDE ABOUT A PERSON WHO WAS DRUNK. HERE THEY HAVE GIVEN MANY EFFECTS TO THIS PERSON USING MACROMEDIA FLASH AND IT WAS WONDERFUL.EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN MANY SLIDES IN THE SAME FORMAT WITH THESE SOUNDS AND EFFECTS,I NEVER THOUGHT HOW THEY WERE CREATED.I WAS JUST ENJOYING THE PICTURE ONLY.THIS MACROMEDIA FLASH IS A TOTAL NEW THING FOR ME.

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PRACTICAL SESSION.OUR FIRST COURSE WORK WAS TO CREATE A BLOG. THIS WAS DONE IN THE FIRST PRACTICAL SESSION AND I COULD NOT ATTEND THIS PRACTICAL SESSION BECAUSE I WAS BUSY WITH MY ENROLMENT WORK.BASICALLY I DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT A BLOG AND THEREFORE I FOUND IT VERY HARD TO CREATE THIS BLOG . LUCKILY THEN I UNDERSTOOD WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.BUT THEN I HAD TO SEND THE URL MANY TIMES BECAUSE I RECEIVED E MAILS SAYING THAT MY BLOG WAS NOT WORKING. THEN AT LAST I WAS ABLE TO CREATE THIS.THEN I WAS SO HAPPY BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS BLOG DURING THE LAST WEEK.ANY WAY I WONDER WHETHER I WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH THIS.BUT WHAT TO DO, NOW THAT I HAVE STARTED THIS ALREADY I HAVE TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS.HOPE FOR THE BEST.THAT IS WHAT COMES TO MIND FIRST WHEN EVER I THINK OF MACROMEDIA FLASH. I PREFER THE LECTURES TO PRACTICAL SESSIONS. YET I LIKE THIS SUBJECT ALOT MORE THAN THE OTHER SUBJECTS.
