Four years ago tomorrow, August 23, 2001, I did the first BIT-101 experiment. The site has taken me a long way since then. I was relatively new to ActionScript when I started it. Now I’ve got a great full-time Flash development job, more side work than I could possibly handle, contributed to something like eight or nine books, plus one book written cover-to-cover, won a Flash Film Festival award, spoken at Flash conferences in three countries. Life is good.
Of course, a big part of the success of the site, and hence my own success, is the open-sourceness of it all. People appreciate the fact that I share what I learn, and let them use it however they want it. All BIT-101 experiments go live along with full source. After a few months on line, I take them down and then they are available on the BIT-101 CD.
So, to celebrate and thank the community for all the good stuff that has happened to me over the years, I’m going to do a two-day CD special. Get the BIT-101 CD for $12.50 US, no matter where you are in the world. That’s not much more than the price of materials and shipping. Scoop them up.
Congratulations, Bit!
Now stop blogging and start posting more cool stuff!1!
Four More Years!… Four More Years!
