Some products always like to claim 'No Programming Required' then when you dig deeper you find there is a 'scripting language' you need to learn or some other syntax. With Multimedia Fusion 2 it is exactly that, No Programming or Scripting Required. Multimedia Fusion 2 caters for both beginners and already-established programmers alike. It contains every feature you could ask for when developing a computer game or application. This course is made up of over 3.

Teaching
I have been actively teachingGame Design, App Development, Networking and Website development since 2013. I really enjoy teaching others what I havelearned over the years and it's a great feat to be able to teach based on my experience also.
For me,to be able to teach in an effective manner, I not only have to be knowledgeableabout the topic I am teaching butexperienceis key. Bringing your experiences into the teaching equation, enables you to share these experiences, give much better advice and planning.
Extended Teaching
Since 2014, I have been teaching actively on Udemy, the ClickFusion Academy and with 1-to-1 online tutoring, mostly via Skype. It's a real enjoyable experience for me to be able to dothis and I hope to continue doing it for many, many years to come.
Game / AppDevelopment
I have over 19years experience with Windows, Software and Game Development. I have worked on numerous games for the PC, Xbox 360, Android, iOS and Flash markets. I have also been professionally developing software applications for desktop, mobile and web since 2011.
I have vast experience in not only programming, game design and development but also with server management which allows me to expand my development onto server-client applications.

I am a total newbie at MMF2/CF2.5 and so far this course is teaching me everything I need to know. Great course.

Good overview of Multimedia Fusion.

By Allen West on 7/26/2017

Good videos . I can see why some people said the speed of the training is a little to fast paced for beginners . Luckily I was already familiar with the software , before I started watching this. Overall though I think it's a good video collection .

By Simon Spencer on 4/11/2017

bad sound in platform tutorial , not in synch.

By Jhen Raphael-Vinci on 2/25/2017

There is a serious issue with audio in some lessons...the teacher also tends to go a little too fast in come cases. Also I do not see much for future lessons as promised....he does give a good overall generalized get you started in multimedia fusion so far.

This course has poor audio for several lectures. The instructor also speaks rapid fire. He travels over the material at a break neck speed. It is hard to follow his lectures. Much of the course instruction seems to be at the intermediate level of usage rather than at the beginning level. While that could have its benefits, in this case, it is a detriment. Even with a coupon price, I don't feel my money was well spent. I will go back and look at the lessons over and over so maybe I won't feel so bad later. If you do purchase this, know that it is for Multimedia Fusion 2 not Click Fusion 2.5. It will apply, but it isn't updated. As one person put it, it seems to have been abandoned by the instructor. He continually talks about what he is going to do and how you will learn then, but he doesn't present the material to you. One of the tutorials is taken directly from the Fusion help files. You can do that one easier by following the tutorial notes in the help file. On a more positive note, the lecturer does know the software. He is definitely an expert in using it. It is just that his talent doesn't seem to lie in teaching.

By Luis Contreras on 5/13/2014

He explains things way too fast, he uses shortcuts, like if we already knew how to use the software. You have to watch the lectures multiple times to get how he is doing something, in a few lectures it feels like he is just showing you the software features rather than teaching you how to do it.
If you are new to the software you will feel kind of lost sometimes, like i said he seems to be good with the software but he is not the greatest teacher.
But overall this it's a good course.
