Learning better is better. You want to be challenged, You need to be challenged but that does not mean it can't be fun. Forget about boring technical jargon. Visually stimulating experiences is the answer. The logic is simple: when you enjoy coding, you code more. It inspires you to push yourself and in the process you learn more and enjoy it as you're rewarded immediately when you're developing your skills through amazing animations.
Instead of reading a massive coding bible(and giving up on page 12) wouldn't it be wonderful if you could turn programing into a fun animation project? Fun always makes things easier, Even when they're challenging. If you ever had a dream to program or to animate this is a must course for you. read more.

Why programing animation is critical for everyone.
One of the most critical skills in the modern world is the
capability to analyze and to visualize information. The most
successful people in all industries have a sharp eye for analyzing
information but yet have a very visually fluid process of thinking.
We are all born with these latent capabilities. These features are
inside each and every one of us but need to be nurtured for them to
strengthen.
We think programmatic animation is one of the
most fun, creative and powerful ways to engage your mind and at the
same time create content that will stand out on the web.
One of our most popular courses is our HTML
with Mom – where I grabbed my mom that barely know how to check
her emails and taught her HTML. Check out some of our other
projects on 02skills.com
We think learning should be fun and engaging for example our project from last year when My mom joined me to learn HTML – Check that intro out to see our style.
Why learn with us?
We know that learning a new skill is hard so we make it easier by making it easier for you to connect with other students learning the same thing at the same time. We integrated commenting in every area of the site to make it easier for you to interact with other students and with us. We have unlimited live support. We will never give up on you, we will be with you until you get it.
Our motto is “learning better is better”. In the age of twitter and social media most modern online education content assumes a lot about the user. We do our best to simplify and make complex topics really simple and fun. So far we created 103 courses over the last 3 years. Our videos have been viewed over 1,000,000 times, we have 15,000 students and just crossed our 1000 4-5 star review line.
Over the years we created many topics but most of them have never been published and are only available for our 02GEEK members. We didn't publish them because the costs associated with publishing content on the web: creating the art work, editing, promos, networking, ads and so forth. As such until now we only published courses we knew would sell well while courses we couldn't invest the capital in promoting them we kept as exclusive content for our members.Our goal is to publish our content and have it on 02skills.
Thanks & giving 5% back
Thanks for believing in us and helping us cross our goal as our way to thank back the KickStarter community we will be kicking it foreword and investing 5% of our income back to projects of the community. We want to thank KickStarter as well for making us a Staff Pick.
About us:
We are not funded by any large cooperation nor do we have ambitions to take over the world. Our goal is to make highly complex technical topics accessible to Developers, designers and Startups. Our main method is through detailed engaging video lectures, live events and interactive applications.
The 6 courses will be available for our members on 02geek and will be sold separately on 02skills our Online market place for our courses.

Risks and challenges
I could die before i finish publishing this bundle -that sounds risky to me. I might get a cold and need few extra days to get everything done.
The first of six courses has been published and delivered to all supporters already. So far I've finished recording about 70% of the courses so 1.5 more courses and then the editing work - I will send weekly status updates. I don't expect to have major hiccups( assuming I don't die or something horrible like that... but then i wouldn't be around to collect the cash and you would get it back so i guess the risk is on me :)
I have been teaching online for three years, and have been teaching for over 10 years. I understand how to overcome many of the challenges and keep a schedule. I appreciate your support that enables me to create this course bundle that will jump start your animation and programing creativity.

No. Our First course will teach you the foundations of javascript integrated into our interactive animations.
-
For all. Although each course is targeted to a different level. Courses 1 and 4 are targeted to junior developers , 2 and 5 to intermediate ones and 3 & 6 are advanced. As each course will be sold for a lot more then the bundle prices in our launch its best you get all courses (you can always gift the ones you don't want to family or friends).
-
The first 3 courses will be in JavaScript/HTML5 and the last 3 courses will be in ActionScript. All courses will leverage the GSAP animation library and as such will be useful even if you don't plan on learning JS/AS3 as long as you will know one of them(our first course will teach you JavaSscript a language very similar to ActionScript)
