Hello world!

Yesterday during AD, we wrote “our first ActionScript” program. While to me the code-behind was nothing new, one thing that bothered me was the Flash layout, in particular the “compile code” feature. As in most IDEs (such as VS.Net) this feature will compile and run your current iteration of code straight from the development environment. However, being used to VS, I found numerous times throuhgout the day I was running my application without changes; in VS hitting F5 will save all documents and compile, while in flash hitting ctrl+enter will just recompile without saving. I imagine that this will take some getting used to.

It is little differences like this that make people wary of learning computer programming.
