Calling All (Really) Talented Developers!

Read it with your best British accent:
  • Are you tired of your current job where you hide in a cubicle and think about lunch at 10:30AM?
  • Are you looking for a cool, fun, dynamic environment where creativity and strong technology skills are rewarded?
  • Do you live (or are you willing to work) in the New York City area?
  • Are you into web application building / AJAX / Flash / Actionscript / PHP / Coldfusion?

10 Reasons We Love Flex 2

As the Adobe and Flash communities probably already know, Adobe's Flex platform was released recently. For the unfamiliar, Flex is a development environment that allows developers to build web applications replete with business rules, layout capabilities and other goodies that compile to Flash. The result can be a really compelling, rich end-user experience. We all know that AJAX gets all the buzz these days. We do plenty of AJAX work here at Arc90. But we’re also loving Flex 2. Here are 10 reasons why.
