I’ve been coding ActionScript for quite some time, and have been doing it professionally for over 2 years… However i realize i miss some basic programming skills. Sure everything will work fine without them, but if i want to grow further i’ll have to master those skills. So i decided i’ll spend at least one hour each weekday actively learning new programming skills.

Some of the skills on my to do list are a couple of patterns i need to learn, there are some frameworks i want to learn how to work with. But also some even more basic things like regular expressions… Whenever i need them i bother some collegue or someone in my social network… I really should have learned this years ago so i’ll try to master the basics today so whenever i need them i’m be able to write them myself.

I’m lucky to have the Book “Advanced Actionscript 3 with Design Patterns” laying around, and the book dedicates an entire chapter to regular expressions, so studying that chapter should be enough.
