I havent posted much of anything i ages, let alone anything relevant to freespace, however, when the servers died on us, I felt left without a place to speak my mind to, to familure members whom i can trust a decent arguement from...
right now in college, Im studying Multimedia Programing. Focusing on various fields in the areas of typography, advertising, games, etc., but the thing that boggles me is, the program most schools are teaching, is Shockwave. I know ONLINE that this format is almost null as a web platform (and my curriculum is aimed in a general MMP format), flash has taken over that job, i really really need to know why Macromedia still makes this format, still makes newer programs with it, and keeps updating the Lingo Programing language when all i really see online are Shockwave games here and there.
Ive done some serious good projects with Shockwave, but my hope is to use Flash, PHP, etc since im more webbased. but being as how im learning a programing language maybe as dead as the format its shown in nowadays (when was the last time u seen shockwave players being downloaded to your browser lol?), what is its possible uses if at all any... or am i wasting valuble taxpayer dollars on a dead program?
