The plan for Day 1 of 360|Flexpress

Posted on | October 21, 2009 | 2 Comments

When I managed Silvafug, there was always a common need: Get new Flex developers up to speed so they can get hired (or excel in a new role as Flex developer).  In order to do that, you need to teach skills beyond just the technical (”This is a var”). You need to teach people how to think about not just what they are going to create, but how they are going to create it and why.

I’ve worked on many different kinds of projects from small to large.  I’ve seen where the pain points are and have gone through some tough moments in the dev cycle that could have been avoided. My goal with the Day 1 training is to not only teach you Flex skills, but also the non-Flex skills that are going to help make you succeed.

The world at large still has a void of Flex developers.  There are many positions that I know of that stay unfulfilled because there are no qualified devs to fill them.  The goal of this training weekend is to help get the local bay area developers up to speed and filling those roles.

For those that have a Flex job or just a passing interest in Flex as a future role, there will be just as much information for you.  You will see what to expect in your new role and learn if Flex really is something you want to spend your waking hours doing.

Mind you, this is just Day 1.  Thomas Burleson, a world renowned expert in Cairngorm, will be sharing his expertise on Day 2.  It’s just $149 for both days or $99 for each day separately if you can only do one. Register now and get prepared to get your Flex on.

Stay tuned, the next post will have more info on what to expect when you arrive for day one!
