Trish Cornez is the author of multiple textbooks on computer programming and applications. She recently co-authored, with Rick Cornez, a textbook on programming using ActionScript 3.0, the underlying language of Adobe Flash, published by Jones and Bartlett Learning.

An Introduction to Programming with ActionScript 3.0 was conceived for two primary audiences: programming students and multimedia developers. Using the Flash environment, the book integrates key object-oriented programming concepts through accessible, real-world applications such as game development and web applications that incorporate graphics, animation, and sound.

Before joining the University of Redlands, Cornez worked as a software engineer in Seattle and Colorado. While at the university, she has co-authored texts on Mac and Windows applications.

Her professional interests include animation and algorithmic art, low-polygon modeling, multimedia game programming, immersive responsive systems, mobile computing (particularly Android), game algorithms and artificial intelligence, compilers, and web development.
