...I didn't follow along with the book, but the instructor had an organized plan that helped me understand the material [Flash] better.

Ken is an outstanding teacher who clearly outlines and teaches Dreamweaver in an organzed manner. He brings real world expericne to his teaching and is very patient with student questions.

I have become the de facto Flash specialist at my job at a nonprofit. While I had some Flash skills coming in to my position, they were nowhere near as comprehensive as they needed to be. Thankfully, I was sent to Multimedia Resource Group for a three-day intensive Flash ActionScript 3.0 course. Now, not only do I feel a lot more comfortable with ActionScript, but I feel more comfortable with the Flash interface as a whole. Ken Durso does a great job of explaining ActionScript in a way that will make even novice OOP programmers feel more confident and competent. Thank you for an enlightening and very helpful course!

“Thanks! I didn’t know anything about Flash before this class but now I feel I can put together a project on my own.”

"Thanks for the great Illustrator class. The small class size and personalized help was greatly appreciated."

"Thanks for the great Flash class, I've already put to use some of the techniques you taught us. I look forward to using it a lot more! I'm hoping to take a follow up course soon."

"I have been meaning to write and tell you how great I thought the Flash authoring course was that I took a few weeks ago. I stare at the same Flash books I'd bought before, and been frustrated by, and now I 'get it.' Thanks again. "

Davis Fields, Mountain View, CA

"The Dreamweaver class I took was great and the Flash class was great.
You pace your classes just right, and you're very knowledgeable about the products you teach."

"Let me take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for an excellent and educational week. In my opinion you should get an Oscar for "teacher of the year"! Your style of powerful lessons and dedication will stay in me for a long time.
Warm regards from a grateful student."

"I typically try to avoid training classes if at all possible, due to past experiences. However, I was so impressed with the Dreamweaver class that I took with Ken Durso, that I have since taken his Flash, Fireworks, InDesign and HTML/CSS classes too! I would highly recommend this training for many reasons, starting with the small class size which enables everyone to receive the individual attention they need. Ken's teaching style is very relaxed, yet he effectively presents an enormous amount of information and knowledge in a very well organized and well paced manner. I especially appreciated the support I received after the classes --- weeks later when I was working on a project and had some problems I could not resolve. Ken was always willing to go the extra mile. I now look forward to taking additional training classes in the near future, but only at the Multimedia Resource Group!"

"You covered a great deal of material in a short period of time. [Flash Rich Media]. What was particularly valuable is that you not only covered the capabilities of the tool but also what the best practices are for using that functionality. We were able to benefit from both your knowledge and your practical experience."

"Your Flash Rich Media Design class was extremely valuable. I learned things I
couldn't teach myself. I finally understand how to use the Timeline, and I
now know how to look out for 'gotchas' that can cost hours of development
time. This kind of knowledge can't come from a book. Thanks!"
