In my inbox sits an email entitled “Why are AS3/Flex developers so difficult to locate? Is it too much to ask for those skills combined?” I followed the link to the forum which then talked about Flex, actionscript and mxml. What I want to know is, where are all the *swf* developers? I’m talking about the devs who can develop in flash as well as flex. I’ve been working with both apps for some time and it’s amazingly useful to understand the pros and cons of each. In fact, let’s push this thought a step further. Where are all the hardcore interactive developers!? Under your belt should be a nice array of front end languages. Learn Flash, Flex, Javascript, Silverlight and even the HTML 5 canvas (up and coming). Knowing the power of all high-end interactive software will never hurt you! I’m making it a personal goal to raise the bar for interactive developers. After all, knowledge is power.
Say “no more” to ignorant developers
