I just wanted to spread the word about an After Effects Expression Series over at ProVideoCoalition that I've created. It's based around short snippets of useful expressions I've used over the years in real world projects. The series is video based in addition to a written article for more detailed code breakdown and explanation. Here are links to the tutorials released so far...
Expression Shorts - Trigger Event Based On Layer’s Speed (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_trigger_event_based_on_layers_speed/) (Use a layer's speed to trigger an event/animation on another layer)
Expression Shorts - Wiggle Only One Direction (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_wiggle_only_one_direction/) (wiggle only the X, or the Y, or the Z direction individually)
Expression Shorts - Numerical Readout (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_numerical_readout/) (use a text layer to display actual layer numerical position data, HUD style)
Expression Shorts - Random Words Cycle (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_random_words_cycle/) (have a single text layer randomly display a word on each frame)
Expression Shorts - Auto Fade Layer (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_auto_fade_layer/) (automatically fade in and out a layer without keyframes. Auto adjusts when layer is trimmed)
Expression Shorts - Read External Text Document (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_read_external_text_document/) (have a text layer display text based on an external txt file. Useful on lower thirds)
Expression Shorts - Trigger Event Based On Layer’s Speed (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraphicsvizfx/story/expression_shorts_-_trigger_event_based_on_layers_speed/) (Use a layer's speed to trigger an event/animation on another layer)
