Bio

Aiden Tailor is an ambitious web developer & designer, specializing in Flash ActionScript 3 development and design.

Years ago, when Flash was very young (must have been before Flash MX), he started working with Flash and experiencing it, mostly as a designer. Though he had built a few websites with this fascinating technology, he took a long drift off through other web development languages like xHTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL and PHP to experience the whole web, its enormous variety and potential.

At the same time, design was a very interesting area to be combined with the work of a web developer, as Adobe's Photoshop, a DSLR camera and a lot of creativity were Aiden's spare time hobby.

After years of autodidactic self treatment, building and designing websites for various clients and working with content managements systems, he finally found the things to focus on and specialize in again: ActionScript development and design. The technology that excited from the very first moment on.

Hence he attended SAE Institute Cologne, early 2008, to study for an Web Design & Development Diploma. What SAE brought, was the third dimension along with all the basics which were to finally be tightened. Computer generated graphics, 3D animation and video compositing. Furthermore, there was a lot to study since the early Flash days and ActionScript 1/2. A combination with Flash ActionScript and a good portion of design made it up. A rich media and rich internet application developer.

While learning and experiencing all those exciting Flash Platform Technologies and 3D graphics, Aiden is developing own projects, blogging, studying and working as a freelance developer/designer and author.
