So here I am
Posted By Thaylin on December 5, 2007
It’s been a very interesting road I have traveled as of late. When I started starwood I was a little upset that I didn’t get a position in NY doing Java development, but since as3 it’s quite similar to Java. I picked up the language in about a week or so and couldn’t imagine going back to AS2.
There are so many interesting things you can do with as3 now. One being development with papervision3d. It’s awesome stuff to be able to develop in a semi-3d environment in flash. What’s even better is my plans to incorporate that with the microsoft surface table. If I can get the go with that, that would rock. Hopefully the company will see the amazing possiblities and hook me up. ::crosses fingers::
::update::
Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t play well with a company’s product that they’re currently trying to steal the market from. (won’t happen but it never hurts to try right? lol). So for now, until I get enough time together to build my own multi-touch system (apparently not that difficult) I’ll just have to dream… sigh..
I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
