Guess I should introduce myself. I'm Jared, System Admin by trade, but I've always had a love for programming as well (especially web development). I met Alec back when he was an impressionable young lad and we did some video game "journalism" together, frankly outshining our cohorts by a wide margin before moving on to bigger and better things. Thanks to the sterling example I set forth back then, I like to think that I'm at least partially responsible for all of Alec's many successes and none of his failures.
I signed up for the Challenge because I've reached a point where advancing my programming skills isn't a big priority at work, and I hope this gives me the motivation to start learnin' again. I've decided to focus on Flash via a totally not pirated in any way online course, with the goal in the next 30 days to simply become familiar with Flash as a platform and get some of the basics down pat (forms, scrolling text, etc.). Long-term I'd like to develop something useful at work (or for my own site) in Flash, as well as develop a simple point-n-click adventure game or maybe even dabble in casual game development.
So that's it for me. The 1% progress is because I figured out how to start the course and viewed the intro...the real learning will follow soon. Good luck everyone!
