I’m George Cook, a 30 year old RIA developer and an Adobe Certified Professional in Flex. This site is a collection of my thoughts, musing, rants, ideas and discoveries in the RIA world. It’s mainly Flex, and Ruby on rails, though tbh, these days its going more and more down the flex route!

I’ve been coding since I was about 8 years old and I’ve got a degree in computer science and all that Jazz. I took most of my twenties off to travel and play guitar, and lived in a van as a busker. As such, I love playing music and speaking Spanish whenever I get a chance.

I’m lucky that my own computing renaisance (read as, rediscovery of “the geek”) coincides with the current surge of RIA. I’m loving my tech at the mo, and getting more and more into the Adobe Flex framework all the time.

I’ve got a couple of open source projects and look forward to doing more over the coming years…

I’m proud to have this:

and hope to add other’s soon.

I also think that you should keep DRY, fix broken windows, pay your dues and never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Oh, and for what its worth “yes we can” :-)
