Adobe Flash Workshops and Seminar by Ycademy

A  new important Ycademy development cycle will start next week: Adobe Flash will be the focus for the next 3 weeks and beyond as the case may be.

The Ycademy May Seminar, which will take place on May 29 and 30, 2010 will concentrate on practical flash application and template modification accessible to people who have followed the flash cycle as well as for participants who have no clue about flash coding: we will work along two parallel workflows, one focused on flash editing, the second on xml editing.

Building Apps for mobile devices becomes crucial for online success as an increasing number of web users shift to mobile devices and as the usage stats of mobile users has already passed web usage by desktop and lap-top users in many countries.

The Ycademy May Seminar will focus on App Building namely on:

Two days are a short time to become familiar with programming language and developer kits. For this reason we will be using what we believe are the two most powerful App building software packs available for Windows to build and test our Apps.

Participants can test also some of the apps directly on their mobile device.

The seminar will take place on May 26 –27, 2012 from 1 p.m. till 9 p.m. London Time on each day.

Website Tutorial 1

Website Tutorial 1 addresses the following situation:

Some of our valued website customers are completely new to the technicalities and operation of websites and blogs and what they demand in the future, once setup and completed.

The fact is, that it is the dynamic content of the blog – meaning regular, original posts and articles vamped up with photos, images and videos etc – that keep the website alive, that keep the hungry search engine spyders coming back again and again for more (… fresh, delicious content that is)… and sending us flowers in form of top rankings on Google.

Facit: work on a website and/or blog is never complete once the website has been constructed and delivered; work continues in many different ways, including also maintenance and regular upgrades just to name a few…

Basically, the website owner has two options: to do the work him- or herself (which demands time, patience, knowledge and skills as the case may be… ) or to outsource – which is a continuing cost factor that definitely pays.

Website Tutorial 1

For the time being, Monkey Valley Resort has allocated a person to get acquainted with the new website and to start the blogging process once ready for it. To this end and to be the most efficient also considering time issues as we all have full working days, I am creating a series of Website Tutorials to introduce and explain this high-traffic website itself, its features and functionalities to someone completely new to this area.

The short website tutorials of about 10 – 15 minutes each will be posted on YouTube, public for general viewing, but private at a later stage when going into some intricacies of the WP based Semiomantics XO Script. This procedure will also help me to better understand where the main problem areas with people who are new to the online world of blogging lie – and to find helpful remedies in my explanations and assistance.

Daily Online Training Calls

I really can’t believe how quickly this year, 2009, has flown by. We have just had our last Daily Online Training Call, and what a super call it was. 

If I look back to January 2009 and go through the topics, seminars and skills learnt in the proeeding months I realise how much has been achieved through out the year and yet there lies still so much more ahead for all the participating members. The online environment is forever changing, adapting, evolving. What was good yesterday is old hat and unstylish today.  In a competetive marketplace every marketer knows that he needs to keep up with the latest trends.

Daily Online Training Calls 2010

Planning well ahead, the New Year Daily Online Training Calls will start on 11th January, as usual in yorgotalk.com @ 8p.m. London time. Already a superb schedule for the months ahead is on the drawing board. Here is just a hint of what lies ahead: shopping cart development, more photoshop workshops, small business development and so much, much more. We have a full 12months ahead of trainings, seminars and workshops.  It’s amazing what you can learn online from the comfort of your own armchair.

For those who missed the finale,  click below for the recording of the training call:

Christmas Card 2011

As the Festive Season is rapidly approaching, it’s time to think of how to wish “Merry Christmas” and  a “Happy New Year 2011″ . Here’s a first Christmas Card 2011 for YOU – I just loaded the tiny video clip on YouTube!

Christmas Card 2011

The above Christmas Card 2011 was created using Adobe After Effects in preparation of this year’s final Ycademy Seminar 2011, taking place in the form of an online Workshop this coming Saturday. We will focus on creating Christmas Greetings using Adobe After Effects. This spiffy program is at the base of so many beautiful animations we see on TV or any film related stuff.

Time to learn how it all functions and then to get good at it! Watch this space!

PS: I can only create a small version as I am in desperate need of more RAM and not only that as my dear old machine is concerned… This will happen in the near future! Can’t wait myself :)

Learning Vocabulary

Things change so fast, not only here online in cyber world but also in the real world. We have to keep pace by continually learning, as mentioned in my previous post, by absorbing new ideas, vocabulary and concepts in order to be able to communicate with others.

Vocabulary

This weekend I learnt something new, even at my age!

We all are exposed to and absorb a basic vocabulary in our pre-school years. From then on as we socialise we build  upon that foundation and add more words that we absorb and learn without even thinking about it. Further education and learning increases our vocabulary even more as we often learn technical terms that are required by our careers or jobs.

“ An average educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a week” Johnny Ling – 2001

Language itself evolves as its used from day to day, and if we look back to say the Elizabethan times, (about the time of Shakespeare), the  average vocabulary of an adult was around 500 words although Shakespeare himself had a vocabulary of around 21,000 words. He was a well educated man.

Having grown up children is a real eye opener sometimes. This weekend I felt a if I had dropped in of the moon! When youngsters get together they speak their own language. This language was something I could not understand with ease, as they were using words and phrases I had never heard before. Colloquial english… the language of everyday with its own vocabulary,  phrases, nuances interspersed with slang. Certain words having taken on new meanings as the language evolves. Today ‘gay’ does not have the same meaning it had 50+years ago.  Unless you are versed in this very informal everyday speech it all can almost sound foreign.

I have a few friends who always rib me that I use ‘colonial english’ but then that was the vocabulary, language and pronunciation  I was taught and brought up with. Not exactly ‘colonial english’ as I’m not a dinosaur yet, but certainly grammatically correct. Even in the short span of my life time language has evolved immensely, and just as I don’t understand Chaucer’s 14th century language, nor will future generations understand today’s spoken words so well.

Children Learning Language

Listening to the spoken word

Children start learning language from a very early age by listening to adults around, primarily their parents and siblings. They mimic what they hear, not necessarily understanding the meaning of the words they use. They also learn by the tone of voice which words create displeasure and which approval. Today they are also influenced by television, videos, radios etc which they often hear in their environment.  Even at a very young age they are listening intently, absorbing like a sponge, learning. My grandson is less than 6months old but already he recognises and responds to his name, and tries to communicate with you with noises in his own fashion.

Children learn language fast as they are not inhibited like adults, they are happy to give it a go and if they make mistakes they are easily corrected.  Eager to learn, eager to communicate. Encouragement goes a long to helping their linguistic development.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.  ~Abbé Dimnet, Art of Thinking, 1928
