Yesterday I became certified as an Adobe Flex 2 Developer. It was easy to locate and schedule taking the test through Thomson Prometric.

The studying materials I used to prepare were:

• Flex 2 Developer’s Guide
• Creating and Extending Flex 2 Components
• Building and Deploying Flex 2 Applications

I had already begun programming in ActionScript 3.0 prior to learning Flex 2, but for those new to ActionScript 3.0 the Programming ActionScript 3.0 documentation will get you up to speed.

SmartLogic Solutions welcomes Joseph Jakuta to the team. Joseph bring many years’ experience in software programming to the company. Joseph’s first task will be to learn Ruby on Rails in an effort to continue to build our company’s proficiency in RoR. Joseph spent the last few years working for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Our company was started by programmers and computer nerds; we know the importance of having a nice “rig” (that’s geekspeak for a good computer system / setup)

We want everyone in the company to be happy and have the necessary equipment to get work done efficiently.

To that effect, we’ve decided that after 6 months of service to the company, all employees get dual 20″ LCD’s. So this past week, we ordered 5 or so 20″ LCD’s to spread throughout the office. Enjoy!

Yesterday we moved to the suite next door to our old suite. We’re still located in the Emerging Technology Center’s incubator @ Eastern. The new office - at 897 square feet - gives us some more space and should accommodate a few more employees easily. Thanks to Greg, Abou and Scott for helping with the move. Special thanks to Scott who stayed with John and Yair till around midnight helping us setup all the desks in the new space!

Our company turns two years old today! Some highlights from the previous year:

• We hired Greg, Abou, Terence, Scott and Joseph
• We moved out of our apartments and into one office and then moved again into another office
• We’re working on larger and more interesting jobs - check out our Portfolio and this blog for more info

We have some grand plans for the next year, let’s see what we can get accomplished!

Welcome to Scott Davis! We’ve hired Scott as an intern for the summer and hopefully longer. Scott is a fast learner, highly motivated, has a positive attitude and should be a great addition to the company. Scott’s first assignment is to learn Ruby on Rails (RoR) so that he can assist us with creating web applications. A few weeks before he started with us he had already bought up some RoR books and started learning the language/framework on his own - nice!
