RE: FLASH: Selfish (Sidenote)

[GDavies]

An excellent explanation Charles.  I started as a dos programmer in C in 93

and now I am a senior consultant and I design and engineer a variety of

large client server apps (flash is still a sideline for me).  


I interview a lot of developers for programming positions and so many want

to do the *cool* stuff, but with client demands these days, salaries are not

the issue so I have to hire the best I can for my clients.  The biggest

thing that would make me give a flasher a chance would be a demonstration of

their skills, names don't bother me, but with some of the sites I've seen

created by people on this list who claim to be beginners, seeing their work,

I'd offer them a job in a heartbeat if I need a flash developer.


Most of our web design guys who we hire are usually html guys who have

learned DHTML and javascript, they then learn flash in their spare time.

Having the solid grounding in DHTML and javascript usually means they have

the skills to pickup any script based technology and in some talented cases

to become java programmers.


Cheers
