Person
William Drol entered Macromedia Flash development with a varied background in object-oriented programming and graphic design. His first experience with macromedia was the admittedly quirky, but OOP-based Macromedia Director and Lingo. Today, there are many reasons to be excited about Flash MX and the hugely improved ActionScript. Drol looks forward to integrating Flash MX with Web services, and he pursues other technologies such as XML, XSLT, and his current favorite, Microsoft C#.
