Lessons are nice and concise. They give you enough information to start building your own games right away!

There are some mistakes of good practices, duplicated videos, same features are taught in different videos. I highly recommend to spend a little more and get a better course.

This is not an Beginner to Advanced Course just an Beginner Course... Not briefly explained about codes - simple and same codes used all over the course in a different way...
By Dylan Fricks on 8/26/2016
This tutorial assumes you are not only a beginner in ActionScript, but a beginner in programming in general. It would be nice if the course was structured such that if you were already experienced in coding other languages you could skip ahead to a certain point. Otherwise it seems fine. The sound is fine and the instructor zooms in enough so we can see what he types clearly.

Not all things are explained clearly and answers to challenge files aren't provided. Have to wait for instructor to respond before getting access to answers.

Nice teacher and the Lectures are well explained, like it and will be recommending these course.
