Introduction August 4, 2007

My name is Troy Gardner, I am the lead of TroyWorks a RIA professional services company specializing in flash related technologies, usually crammed to the gills with work. As such wear many different hats, from architect to programmer, to designer, information architect, project manager, janitor. Depending on the day and need.
This is my professional blog, in which I'll be talking primarily about Flash related technologies and development strategies that I use and help.
Keywords: Flash, Flex, Air, Actionscript (2.0, 3.0), RIA's, FDT, Eclipse, Virtualization, Red5, Remoting, AMF, OpenAMF, Design Patterns, Statemachines, as I run things of interest.

I have been developing in Flash since version 2, and also know Java, .Net and a little C. So tend to focus on the hard core scripting side of things, but I also deeply care about the usability of web applications. Typically I live somewhere between Flash's capability to innovate in UI and the data richness of Flex applications.
