After a slow start, I am now well-immersed in flex training. Our instructor missed his flight into town the first morning, so started a good 2.5 hours late. However, we students in the class spent some time on our own discussing what we understood, and I think overall that was a valuable exercice. There is really nothing like explaining something to someone to see how well you understand it.

I enrolled in the “Developing Rich Internet Applications” but I think I may have been better off enrolling in a more advanced class. I had already done plenty of reading and playing around, as opposed to some students who had no knowledge of flex at all.

I have been doing some more research on Flex Certification and I expect I will be pursuing it. I managed to find a fair amount of information on Jun Heider’s blog. Although the timing isn’t ideal (I’m about to start two more courses for grad school this week!), I am going to work towards certification before the end of 2007.

  • go through and make study notes based on the Flex2Blueprint Jun posted.
  • subscribe to Lynda.com training for one month, watch the videos
  • Ideally I’d like to take the “Programming the Visual Experience” training class, but I’m not sure if that will work out.

I will continue posting my progress on this as I go along–
