Course Name: Flex 3.0 and ActionScript 3.0 Application Developer Certificate (FAADC) from Wavelength

Who Should Join this Course?

This Flex and ActionScript 3.0 training program is for programming professionals who do not know ActionScript 3.0 and who wish to learn FLEX. However, the course requires that you have substantial experience of programming in any language such as AS1, AS2, Java, JavaScript, C#/C++, VB, PHP, ASP etc.

Thus, the audience for this course comprises:

• Programmers/Developers who would like to gain expertise in the exploding field of Rich Internet Applications Development using the Flex Platform, and who have been programming & developing applications using any of the following languages.
  • C Sharp (C#) / C++ / C
  • Java
  • JavaScript / VBScript / JSP / PHP
    

  Important Note: Graphic Designers & other professionals without substantial programming experience, but who have knowledge of Flash and wish to learn ActionScript - the programming language of Flash, should consider the ActionScript Developer Certificate (ASDC) Course.

What Wavelength's FLEX students have to say:

"As an ActionScript programmer, I was always keen on learning FLEX and wanted to expand my skills in this technology. I am a regular reader of Wavelength’s Newsletter and had already done two ActionScript certifications (ASDC and AS2OOP) from there. While going through the newsletter I read about the FADC (Flex 3.0 Application Developer Certificate course) certification being introduced by WAVELENGTH and got myself enrolled for the same without giving it a second thought. I was already familiar with the methodology of Wavelength which I always feel is the best learning experience I have ever came across.

The FADC is conducted in such a manner that gives a programmer the in-depth knowledge of FLEX as a technology and the new classes introduced in AS 3.0. After the course, I feel confident of developing FLEX Applications and have clear understanding of what I write when I develop in FLEX.

The vast knowledge of Mr. Anand in the field of e-learning and software development had always encouraged me to attend and give 100% effort in my class. The discussion forum, regular assignments and the project helped me build my conceptual as well as practical knowledge in FLEX and AS 3.0.

All my gratitude to WAVELENGTH!"

“I will definitely miss Wavelength forever. It has been quite a remarkable experience of learning here. I have already done two courses before doing Wavelength’s FLEX course. I found this course is up to the mark like other courses of Wavelength despite ours being the first batch. Wavelength’s practical approach and down to earth examples helped me to understand this course very clearly. I feel very confident now with what learning this training program has imparted to me.

Thank you for your unwavering support."

“It’s a place for professionals.”

" It was a very good experience to be part of the Wavelength for the second time with the FLEX 3.0 course, as earlier I did ASDC (ActionScript Developer Certificate course). Wavelength’s training programs are very well structured, and conducted in a very professional manner. The way they cover each topic with very live examples is excellent and it helps us do a lot of work in a professional environment .The depth of knowledge I got during this course has made me fully confident about developing Flex Applications.

I thank Wavelength that it has given me an opportunity to participate in the Flex course. My good wishes are always with Wavelength and I expect that in future they will launch more good trainings so that we can get more and more benefit from the courses and rise in life."

• What Wavelength's ActionScript Courses/Workshops students have to say:

  
  
  “When I typed in ActionScript training in Google for the first time, the very first link that appeared was Wavelength’s. I used Google because I am a C++ developer and don’t have any contact with people working in ActionScript domain. Searching for the right course itself was a challenge for me as I wanted to invest my hard earned money in a good training institute, I use the word “good” because my experience with other institutes was below average and not as per my expectations.

  Since Google is not partial to anyone in specific so I also found other Action Script training institutes. I made inquires with all of them and finally rated Wavelength top among them. This was because Wavelength responded to all my queries very transparently without telling me ‘Why they are the Best?’

  I was properly counselled at Wavelength. I realized that not everyone can take a Wavelength course; only those who satisfy the prerequisites for the course can do so. That day I realized that the strong foundation of Wavelength was firmly built on the two basic pillars, Quality and Discipline, where I never saw any compromise.

  The course has predefined set of methodologies and rules. The marking system is very transparent and effective. Each and every task has a predefined benchmark. The complete training is meant for achieving milestones. All the course activities carry marks along with it, so each competitor tries his best. The marks obtained are transparent & open for all. Feedback for each assignment is provided properly, so that one understands the reason for the marks given.

  Finally, I would say Wavelength was the first and last institute where I have seen CMM level Quality and IIT type Training and Discipline. Finally I will use the word ‘Excellent’ for Wavelength’s trainings and congratulate all those students, who have gained recognition as programmers after completing their course from Wavelength.”

  “A one-of-its-kind training program that is very well structured for both newbies & experienced alike. Wavelength not only makes sure that you learn how to write code, but how to write it efficiently too. The best part of the course is, small exercises given weekly which ultimately help you in building a WBT at the end of the course. I myself have developed strong potential for ActionScript programming & am currently very well placed with Magic. A sure shot way to get into e-learning industry.”

  “I feel empowered after completing this training workshop. At the beginning of the workshop, I thought that 5 days is such as short span of time. Now I declare that 5 days can change your life. The way Wavelength teaches is excellent. As far as the concepts are concerned, everything becomes crystal clear and your confidence rises to the zenith when you complete the workshop.
  
  The workshop is excellent. I am looking forward to more such workshops. My best wishes to Wavelength.”
