What a Flash / ActionScript Developer needs to know

Yesterday I saw this post in my RSS feeds, and I just want to remember this (and make sure that I’m really a senior 😉 )

So here is a list of stuff you need to know when you say you are a senior Flash/ActionScript developer:
http://pv3d.org/2009/08/28/10-things-every-senior-flash-developer-should-know/

I don’t like to regurgitate so I only show you the top 10, for examples visit the list by John Lindquist

  1. The Elastic Racetrack
  2. FlexSDK, mxmlc, compc, and all that jazz
  3. Player Events, Custom Events, Event Bubbling
  4. Statements, Keywords, and Directives
  5. ASDoc
  6. Managing visual assets (images, fonts, CSS, etc)
  7. Arrays, Collections, Dictionaries, Mapping
  8. Programmatic motion (tweening, easing)
  9. OOP and Coding Against Frameworks
  10. Version control

And after reading this I remembered gskinner had a similar list:

This is a bigger list and a lot of comments, so you need to visit the list and read it and all its comments
