Yana Weinstein (Ph.D.) received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Warwick, A Magistere of French Language and Civilization from the Sorbonne in Paris, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from University College London. In London, Dr. Weinstein worked with Dr. David Shanks in the area of cognition and false memory. Currently, she is a Post-Doc at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, where she is doing research with Roddy Roediger and Kathleen McDermott. She designed and wrote a course on Flash Programming for students at Washington University which was the impetus for this book.

“This text fills a need for accessible guides related to programming language and using Flash. Additionally, the examples and screenshots would act as a helpful reference for social science researchers.”
