Things have been quiet on the blog front but lots has been happening on other fronts. I can catch you up in about three paragraphs. Here goes.
I switched jobs! I left my job as Web Developer at 3000k, a small web shop in Worcester, about three weeks ago to join Meridias Capital. The Meridias Capital public site is a bit sparse so let me fill you in. The company is a mortgage finance lender centered out of Las Vegas with a secondary office in Salt Lake City. They have a couple of enterprise-level web apps that help faciliatate the mortgage finance process internally. This is where I come in.
I’ll be working out of Boston with Michael Lowry, Director of UI, to architect, design, and build the UI for these apps. I was hired for my traditional front-end skills: XHTML, XML, CSS, JS, etc. but soon after my arrival there was a strong push to investigate Adobe Flex. After some research and prototyping we came to the conclusion that Adobe Flex was a better solution for our RIA then a traditional HTML/AJAX approach. So we have cast off into a brave new world!
Note: We will be looking at add another member to our small Boston UI team shortly. If you have Flex experience or experience developing web apps with Flash, drop me a note. We will post proper details on the opening shortly.

Flex is great, beta tested it myself, had it’s headaches and joys. Goodluck in your venture.

have you looked at openlaszlo?

I guess Flex is the best choice, but its nice to have an open source option.
Best of luck.

I’ve been checking out Flex for a few weeks now. I think it is really awesome and the best AJAX, or should I say AAAX? :) I think it is definitely work learning!

Hey Lokesh,
How’s the new job treating you? I hope you’re having a great time there.
Anyway, in regards to RIAs, I’ve also been using OpenLaszlo too. I find it very quick and easy to use on collaborative projects. One example of its use is in clockthat (webnotes) application I did for my employers, Fotango. You can see this at: http://service.zimki.com/user/pinboard/
The platform for the back-end (www.zimki.com) is also a great timesaver.
Keep up the great work.
