Finaly after doing Tutorials for sometime on Microsoft’s Flight Simulator, I had successfully flow from Bahrain International Airport to Kuwait Airport using a commercial jet! with a super expensive logitech joystick!
Took me about 2hours to land to Kuwait International Airport rather than the standard 45min because of the difficulty I was facing speaking with the Tower.
This encourages me to continue training and do more flights! My next flight is from Baghdad Airport to Basra Airport!
For whoever care, 2 days ago was Flex 2 anniversary! It has been 1 year since Flex 2 was released on 28th June 2006.
My beloved game, Metal Gear Solid!
Finally my two books from amazon arrived yesterday! I ordered four books two weeks ago from amazon.com, and two of them arrived yesterday which are Worx’s Adobe Flex 2 Professional and ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook. I can’t wait to read it.
Three weeks ago I had a week off. It’s the week between second semaster and summer. I finished reading two books on that week (I wish I had more of these weeks), which are Friends of ED The Essential Guide to Flex 2 With Actionscript 3.0 by Charles E. Brown, and Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird.
The Flex book is pretty good for Flex starters, but it isn’t good enough for advanced users and for reference. The web design books is about what you should think about before designing a web page. However, you don’t need any experience on designing a web page to read the book before begining to design a website. In addition, the book is very good for web design experts. It describes some concept which doesn’t cross your mind even after years of experience on designing web pages. It goes deep to talk about the concept of layout design, colors, fonts, and textures… etc.
What’s next?
Well, I’m currently reading two books and already half the way throught the first book. The first one is Object Oriented PHP Concept and Code by Peter Lavin which talks about OOP way to code on PHP5. Inspit of my experience on PHP4, this book is pretty good for who wants to upgrade to PHP5 and design web systems that uses OOP heavly. The second book (Still at early stages) is Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Making Things Moves by Keith Peter.
I have been reading lesser last two week because summer semaster is consuming alot of my time. I hardly can find enough time to read. However, I’m also playing some games (as always) but just few hours a week. I can’t wait to finish these books to start reading what I ordered from amazon!! (There are still two books I preordered on the way! damn!).
Since I love Metal Gear Solid games I would like to show you something I found on youtube!
