Hi,
My name is Murugan.And i am trying to become a RIA developer.I chose to
go the Adobe way.So,first i learnt the AS3.0 core language with OOP
principles.I opened a few .as files and found them normal to understand
and follow.I already have some experience with Flash in creating some
(regrettable!) animations.I know all the basics of creating a Flash
based RIA.
After coming in to contact with Flash builder and Flex i
really like their straight forward simplicity in code management.
Apart from AS3.0,Flash and Flash builder,if look around i see
there are multiple technologies to learn to become a complete RIA
developer which incudes knowledge about server side technologies as
well.It’s true that i am a flexible person in learning anything anew in
a short span of time. But i want to spend my time reasonably in
learning only the necessary technologies which live within the
environment of Flash and Flex and are being used by most people who
develop RIAs.
And while proceeding to study the necessary new
technologies i want to land myself in a job with the available
skills.Are Actionscript3.0 along with FlashCS5 or Flex enough to get me
a job?.Or do i need to know anything more a bit.Why i am asking such a
question is that when i was going through many job requirement
advertisements by many concerns,under skills required category they
list so many technologies apart from the three i know.That really puts
me down(but not out).Really unnerving.
So,i hope anyone who goes through the above paragraphs
will understand what my problem is.Hoping for a reply.
I am a windows user.
rgds,
S.Murugan.
