Now that apple has released (I know, not recently, but I’ve been busy) their myTunes widgets, everyone who’s ever wondered, "What does John buy on iTunes?" can now rest easy. Your question has now been answered :)

This should be getting posted to Flex jobs any day now, but why wait? That’s my motto. :)

Flex Developer Needed in Denver CO. Full Time

Xylem CCI is hiring! We’re looking for skilled developers!

We’re looking for Flex Developers! Maybe you’re a JAVA guy looking to get into Flex, or a Flex Developer looking for more, better, bigger projects, or even a CF, or .NET developer, looking to get your Flex hands dirty. We want to talk to you!

Specifically what’re we looking for?
    •    Experience in OO Programming
    •    MXML and AS3 experience (the more the better)
    •    CF, .NET, PHP, JAVA, or Ruby experience
    •    Maybe some design skills (Certainly not required, but never hurts)
    •    Knowledge of the SDLC
    •    Be familiar with Remoting, Web Services, etc
    •    Knowledge of MS SQL and/or MySQL
    •    This one is pretty important, be able to manage your time well, and communicate effectively. You’ll be on multiple projects and will need to interact with multiple client, and internal departments often.

Interested? Email your resume to work@XylemCCI.com

excitement of our office parties, sporting and entertainment events,
to the brain stimulation of the book of the month club and various
career development and training events with industry experts through
our many partnerships – Xylem CCI creates plenty of opportunity for
our people to immerse themselves in an extraordinary experience

We’ve got tons of Flex stuff in the works, and are planning to even get some of it AIR’ed. We’re not looking for hard core Flex Ninjas or anything, though those wouldn’t be turned away, but if you know Flex and want to take your skill set to the next level, we wanna talk to you.

Oh, and Denver and CO in general are r0ckin places to live!

with 360|Flex Seattle behind me, it’s back to just one day job, at least for a while. Not that XylemCCI got short shrifted before, but at least until Italy and East coast planning gets under way, I’m back to being just a Senior Software Engineer, building cool FLex apps. I kinda like that from time to time :)

Finished the piece of project that I was supposed to finish before leaving, so I’m officially ready to go.

My bag is packed, and just waiting on a few last minute things to be washed, my 360|Flex gear is ready to wear, and my MacBook Pro’s power pack is in my backpack, ready to keep me powered up.

Tom and I have been working feverishly the last few weeks to get all the final ducks in a row, nails nailed down (insert your favorite turn of phrase here), and are so excited to be doing 360|Flex Seattle. If it wasn’t for all that goes into a conference we might do these every month, but anyone who thinks you can pull one of these types of events off in a month, is smokin!

This time has been extra challenging since I’m now working at XylemCCI, (we’re still hiring by the way, Flexers come to Denver! It’s beautiful!!) and Tom is at Workday, both of which demand, and expect our energies, it’s not always an easy balance, ask Tom how cranky I’ve been since my current project went into crunch mode, and I worked 15+ hour days for 3 weeks, I felt like Bruce Banner, there towards the end, Poor Tom.

I leave DIA tomorrow at 12:00 and probably won’t rest until sometime Thursday. Ryan is taking us out for a dinner (it had better be good too!) tomorrow night, I think we’re doing something with Jeff (maybe?) on Saturday night, Sunday begins all the conference fun, then off to visit my grand parents in Brewster….Google map it.

So if you’re not gonna be in Seattle next week, it’s not too late, if you are, make sure to find me and say hello. I’d love to (though I know I won’t be able to) meet every attendees in person.
