About the Author

John Dusbabek (or "I") is a software engineer and Flex developer from Provo, UT (USA). I created these screencasts to contribute to my local Adobe users group. It's my hope that they will be helpful to others as well.

Site Information

By jwd · Comments Comments Off

Screencasts were created using Adobe Captivate 3. Disclaimer: I’ve never worked or been educated as an actor, singer, or voice talent. Consider yourself warned. Oh, and I often have a triffling bit of allergies which you may hear from time to time (I am getting better with the mute button, though).

I’m in the process of getting source code for the existing screencasts cleaned up. I’m going to start including it in the post, in case you’d rather just download and look at it.

I hope you enjoy my site. You can visit my technical blog at dusbabek.net.
