Recruitment post – We’ll be at MAX

I admit I do not know when my person blog turned into recruitment blog for the company I work for. My post from last year is ONLY two posts down, so I am going to copy that and post again. Some of us from Active will be at MAX ‘09 at LA learning about pushing limits with flash platform.

If you happen to be at MAX and want to explore the opportunity of joining our team in any of our Vancouver, Seattle, San Diego offices or just wanted to hang out with us and talk about what’s going on with using Flex to develop enterprise application with great user experience, drop me comment or email me. I would love to chat with fellow geeks. On recruitment note, we are looking for junior to senior Flex Developers for our ever growing / expanding team. There are a lot of challenges waiting for us to solve while we are redefining applications that touch every person living active lifestyle. Check out here at what we do: http://www.activenetwork.com/about/corporate-overview.htm.

When not to use “hasOwnProperty” when checking for property

While working on FlexSDK bugs, I got one of my patches rejected because I was using “hasOwnProperty” to check for property existed instead of “in”. Alex Huri says “For sealed classes, the practice is to use ‘in’ instead of hasOwnProperty”. You learned something everyday. Thanks Alex.

BugQuash hooked me to FlexSDK

I had the opportunity to participate in BugQuash event hosted at Adobe Seattle Office. It was a ton of fun. 4 of my coworkers from Active and I had blast with other developers at the event as well as online though connect. Aside from all the fun, it was a great event to introduce flex developers to FlexSDK. I have been thinking for a while (over 6 months) to play around with FlexSDK and never made it. But being in the event made me to it and I was able to contribute (two patches were accepted — w00t!!) and now I am hooked to keep up my contribution on FlexSDK. So thanks for all the people behind this event and looking forward to next one.
