O_oAlso there are usually shim's available for backward compatibility, so I'm torn on whether learning ActionScript is a good investment of my time.
I strongly recommend you avoid learning ActionScript unless you plan on writing such shims.

What kind of apps were you thinking of making, Alpo? That might also help guide your learning.
Flash is not a good idea. It's disappearing fast. Many security-conscious users refuse to allow it to run on their browsers, while web services are slowly removing it from their infrastructure. Google just recently announced they have removed it completely from their ad framework. BBC announced this week they are removing it too.
The runtime is a constant security nightmare and people are just flocking away from it. That is most definitely a technology you are going to see disappearing very soon.

Mostly just regular websites of the type that small businesses and organizations use I guess. I have studied a few of them, but many are a bit old (they still work decently though IMO). They do things like Community event scheduling, different forms, viewing merchandise, etc.Originally Posted by MutantJohn
So I'm basically just looking at anything that might be useful to make and maintain a site like that on my own. It's probably unreasonable to expect to become great at doing everything that's related lol, but I want to know at least enough to know what's possible.
I thought that might be the case, thanks for letting me know!

Out of curiosity, do you know Ampersand? I've been using it recently and it's actually kind of impressive what you can do with it.
Edit: Or rather, I know a guy who's actually pretty crafty with it.
He was able to code some pretty interactive client-side stuff pretty quickly with it. One of the cool things about it is because you need to compile it down for the browser, you can mixin a lot of other Node.js modules like Ramda and superagent.
Edit edit: You can also be super naughty like I sometimes am an incorporate some VanillaJS in there. When you do it, it just feels so dirty. You're just like, oh, oh my, I'm being sooooo naughty right now XD

Do you know the Ampersand? The Ampersand, the Ampersand. Do you know the Ampersand, who lives on the number row?
Yeah, man! I made that one topic about C++ mixins in Node.js code but then I got distracted by sucking at Ampersand and asked if anyone knew but then I figured it out on my own and I kind of chronicled the whole thing.

Surely you don't mean the address of the & himself who was just born as prophesied? May the * point you in the right direction.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Do you mean this?: Ampersand.js - Home
I had never heard of it before, but I like the idea of a template generator. Ifs it's simple enough anyway.
Yeah, and he's the most crooked person living there, you can't trust him! Plus he hangs out around seven, who we all know eight nine, the cannibal.

Yup, that's the one!Do you mean this?: Ampersand.js - Home

It's an interesting framework. I wasn't super fond of it at first but I'm starting to like it now. One thing I suck at is doing the DOM bindings. Other than that, it's a pretty great way of handling HTML generation on-the-fly and doing event handling.
There is so much I know nothing about
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
The innuendo is strong with this one.

I'm sure he was just tied up and just wanted to finish quickly. I mean the only important part of DOMs is being able to style sub elements with 50 shades of grey as a linear gradient. You need to be able to whip out samples of this constantly to stay on top.

Anyone seen my 'trix?
It hurts me.
And not in the good way.
