The Rich Media Institute (an Almer/Blank partner company) is very pleased to announce the launch of the new General Forums.
I included some detail about this launch here, in my inaugural posting. But I wanted to include a few additional notes here.

As part of hosting
LAFlashapaloozastock IV, the RMI is hosting two workshops: the
Joshua Davis one, which
I mentioned a couple of days ago; and also, a pretty unique (and
FREE) opportunity to study
Add Communication to your Applications with Ribbit.
Ribbit
I say that this workshop is unique because, well, you really can't find this topic anywhere. Ribbit's functionality (allowing you to bring voice and phone into your Flash work) is pretty darn cool (and again, certainly unique), and this course is not only free, but also taught by a senior Ribbit engineer -- direct from the horse's mouth, as it were.
I'd say that, as usual, you can save 20% with code 'laflash', but again -- it's
FREE.
Do not miss this great opportunity to beef up your Flash skill set.
I know the
RMI hasn't been running as many live workshops out of Los Angeles as we used to -- and that's because we've been focusing more resources on the
RMI Online Training. But we have resumed live workshops here over the summer, and are incredibly pleased to host
Joshua Davis for a
special two-day workshop on accelerating creativity in ActionScript 3, on Thursday/Friday October 1st and 2nd.
I'm posting about this course in particular (since I do not take the time to post on all of our live workshops) because it's not every day that people in and around Los Angeles have the opportunity to study with a renowned artist and designer like Joshua Davis. But also, because I've seen the course materials and subject matter, and I can say with confidence that this course is going to make all the students feel more creative in Flash, making code-driven creations, with fewer hurdles and less setup time.
In short, I
strongly recommend this course if you are a designer or developer, with a minimum level of comfort in AS3, looking to unleash the artist within! Do not miss this rare chance to study with a great talent, and amazing motivator, and learn some really useful techniques that will make you a stronger Flasher.
And, just to make it even easier:
a) there's student pricing
and
b) the code 'laflash' will save you 20%
So, go on. Do it. You'll be glad you did.
