Flash-Programmer! LOL!

It came to mind that if you are in the mood for some fiction along the lines of the aforementioned you might like Scott Bradfield and Russell Banks. Bradfield’s The History of Luminous Motion is one of my favorites and Bank’s Continental Drift is heavy and inspired.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve got a couple 5hr flights coming up next week, so the timing is perfect.

You were right about the errors, but be careful using the words “flash” and “programmer” in the same sentence . . . those web purists can sniff out comments like that from a mile away! It’s a legit OOP! I swear!

Whoa! Some heavy hitters there! I’ve certainly enjoyed some Zinn and Chomsky in my time; you might like Saul Alinsky and Hannah Arendt, found they dovetail nicely with the above. Thompson is straight crazy and I’ve been meaning to pick up some Palahniuk. eBay here I come!

Oh, is it the missing ‘;’ and the one missing ‘.’ on the first line of the array? Asked the non-flash programmer.

There’s even a couple syntax errors in there for good measure.

if (!fun) {
reading = Certified Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Developer’s Study Guide;
} else {
reading = Noam Chomsky;
reading .= Howard Zinn
reading .= Hunter S Thompson
reading .= Chuck Palahniuk
}
