“What every Flash Developer should know”“O que qualquer Flash Developer deverá saber”
I was asked to organize the requirements for a job ad for a position of "Flash Developer" in the agency FullSIX Portugal . I thought it made sense to remember a lecture by Grant Skinner titled "Things Every ActionScript Developer Should Know". (Grant Skinner slides are available)
Having to reformulate his presentation, Grant Skinner put a small post with the skills he considers mandatory : (source: Grant Skinner's blog)
- ActionScript development (obviously)
- OOP experience
- Some experience with architecture / design patterns
- Code standards
- Data services integration: XML, JSON, SOAP, etc.
- Problem solving
- Debugging
- Optimization, both code and graphics
- Quality testing
- Reasonable understanding of UX and interaction design
- Basic graphic design and motion graphics skills (enough to understand and implement designer oncepts)
- Graphics import
- Basic skills with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks (for tweaks / exporting art)
- Basic understanding of video / audio compression
- Programmatic motion
- Writing (for team / client communication, documentation, comments, etc)
- Verbal communication and interpersonal skills for team / client interaction
- Experience working with Flash and the timeline
- Experience with an external code editor (ex. FlexBuilder, FDT, FlashDevelop)
- High level understanding of Flex, FMS, Remoting, FlashLite, AIR and other core Flash platform roducts / libraries
- High level understanding of server development and databases (not necessary an ability to implement anything, but a small amount of experience / understanding of the models)
- Basic understanding of HTML, JS, CSS
- Integration with HTML, JS
- Community awareness (online resources, frameworks, etc)
- Basic math - understanding and combining +, -, /, *, %, exponents and basic trigonometry (sin, cos, atan2, etc)
I would like to know your opinion on the qualifications that you think required for a "Flasher". I look forward for your comments...Foi-me solicitado que organizasse os requisitos para um anúncio de emprego para uma posição de "Flash Developer" na agência FullSix Portugal.

Ignite Portugal
"Ignite Talks" was founded by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis in 2006 in Seattle. Since then hundreds of 5 minute talks were held around the world. The communities are more fervent in Seattle, Portland, Paris and New York.
Next October 15th, it will happen here at Lisbon and the "Call for Speakers" already began. You must send your topics until September 25th.
More info on the websitehttp://igniteportugal.blogspot.com/
"Ignite" punchline is:
"If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers."
Will you take the challenge? We will meet there
