FDT Super Awesome March Deal

http://fdt.powerflasher.com/blog/?p=1347

It’s no secret that I love FDT. The above link is a special promotion FDT is putting on for the month of March that allows you to save a few hundred $$$ on FDT by showing them you already own a competing product (usually Flex Builder).

I completely agree with everything Jesse wrote in this post: http://flashartofwar.com/2010/03/12/why-you-should-invest-in-fdt/. (Jesse and I actually work together now and talk about “workflow” quite a bit.) I’m not going to repeat what Jesse said. I just wanted to add that a lot of Papervision3D was developed in FDT and it has been an invaluable tool. I always forget how great FDT is until I switch back to Flex Builder and lose all the amazing shortcuts and conveniences FDT gives me.

Anyway, read Jesse’s article and support FDT for all the reasons he listed. Lastly, here’s a few FDT guys to follow on twitter if you have any questions:

Preferred Video Tutorial Resolution?

I’m getting ready to put together some more video tutorials. If you have 2 seconds to spare, please vote in the poll on the right to help me decide what resolution to target. Just fyi, up until now, I’ve always done 1024×768 and I think they’ve worked out pretty well, but now that Youtube is offering full HD, I was wondering if I should take advantage of it.

Back in the saddle

I took off the last couple weeks to be with my wife and new baby (caution: cuteness overload below):

I should finish up my theminator project in the next couple days.
