gbulmash's Journal: RTFM Extreme

Following a "dream", I tried to get a very cool Flash-based drawing application built. After coders on Rent-A-Coder and E-Lance wasted weeks of my time before saying the app was impossible or would take a team of programmers months, I finally decided to do it myself even though I'd never even touched Flash before.

I recently blogged about the experience of building a complex application while learning the necessary programming skills as I went. Quite a journey and one that hit home the value of RTFM.
