  • Career++

    Walked into small and big companies in the past, but the day I first entered Adobe, Bangalore, I vowed to myself to enter through the orange doors of my dream company with a valid access card in hand. Glad I was able to do that on 8th November 2010.

    All thanks for Balaji, my senior at college, for referring me to Adobe, Aparna for leading me through the HR formalities seamlessly, Arijit, Ramesh, Harish, Praveen, Radhakrishna and Sourab for the interviews and for taking time off to give clarity on my job description.

    The day of my interviews, I was super-excited with people like Ramesh and Harish – Awesome people whom I unquestionably adore – on the other side of the table. Irrespective of whether I make it into the Evangelism team, or Adobe for that matter, just having a one on one conversation with these people gave me crazy numbers of ideas, opinions and insights. It was indeed an excellent learning opportunity. Interviews, are just not the word !

    As life has its say, my official birthday, October 13th turned out to be the best one ever. On the day, with all formalities completed, I was finally offered to work with the India Evangelism team as a Platform Evangelist .

    This post has been considerably delayed, but better late than never. I am now 2 months into the job, and loving every bit of it, working with an awesome team. How else could it be, working at the Flex Factory !

    With all said, looking forward to dive deeper into the job. The best i could possibly imagine.

  • Hello World for a Flex Starter

    Here is a Flex Tutorial I’m writing for a couple of my friends. While the Videos on ‘Learn Flex in a week’ and “Test drive Flex in 1 hour” serve as good tutorials, here is an application I have attempted to build, which serves as an example for a developer trying out flex for the first time.

    Get yourself a Flash Builder to start off. A 60-day trial is available here

    The application demonstrates essential implementations like connecting to a WebService, SQLite Database and UI practices, a developer needs to be aware of prior to building a Flex application. This is brought about with 4 components, demonstrating the implementations below,

    1) Displaying Hello World.
    2) Displaying Hello World with a better UI (PopUp) from a XML file.
    3) Displaying Hello World from a Webservice (REST).
    4) Displaying Hello World from a Webservice that pushes data into a SQLite Database.
