Corona, Lua

Started writing a phone app using Corona. Corona is the compiler, the language is lua and you can get a plugin for it for eclispe. Plug-ins ok. Doesn't pick up on everything.
Its good though, bit similar to actionscript, in fact the creators of it I think are X adobe employees.
Still has its issues though. I would like to see classes, and I would like somthing similar to events. unique events like what you can create in action script. I think you can do stuff like modules... which are a bit like classes. Will research that a bit further.
Im going to stick at it though. I need to start learning new languages.

Lynda.com

So for the rest of this afternoon I think I will brush up on my skill set! I want to learn more about css and div tags. I can still produce work like this, but I know the way that Im creating stuff is fairly old school. I still use tables to position graphics and site frames, when I know I should really be using div tags. I get how css and div tags work but what it boils down to is the positioning of graphics, specifically alignment to the left and right. Once I grasp that I should be rocking! The best place for me to look in times like this is www.lynda.com I’ve learnt a lot from the tutorials on Lynda and I’m hoping she can teach me a thing or two about css!
