Flex-ing my Muscles
One AWESOME new development. A company has already sent me through 2 interviews. I am supposed to do some research and then call them when I’m ready to do my third interview. The research I’m supposed to be doing is on a program called Adobe Flex. It uses a lot of Flash stuff to basically make programs. Flash is more for web sites while Flex is more for programs. I have spent two days working through Adobe’s “Learn Flex in a Week” training sessions (I’ve made it through 2 of 5 days). Here’s what I’ve done so far.
Today I’m wanting to get through days 3 and 4.
When I finish all 5 days (hopefully Monday morning-ish) I will let my contact know that I am ready. He basically said that if I can prove myself that I will very likely have a job. So I’m busting my butt to show that I can do something. I guess we’ll see.
I’m loving Flex. I know it will be incredibly beneficial if I do any sort of programming in the future. It will be especially helpful if I’m working in Flash. (Flex sort of goes on top of Flash.) And I’m REALLY enjoying actual programming.
