14th year of 2ndfactory is started

Our company, 2ndfactory reached its 14th year at June 1. In this FY, we will challenge several things. I spent 6years for 2ndfactory now, this is our 7th year. I’ll do my best at this lucky 7 year !

I’m not Adobe Community Professional

昨年度あまりAdobeテクノロジーに関わることが少なかったためか、本年はAdobe Community Expertの後継プログラムであるAdobe Community Professionalの一員になることはできませんでした。もちろん、これによって私とAdobeテクノロジーのつながりが切れるわけでもございませんし、お客様へのご提案も続けることになります。こうなっても、常にベンダー中立な立場でいたいと思っておりますので、今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。(本音は寂しい気持ちもございますが。。。今はコミュニティを引っ張る若い世代の方もいらっしゃいますので、なにかお手伝いできることがあればやらせていただきたいと思っています。)

Microsoft MVP – Development Platforms-Client App Dev – (2009.10)

今年も皆様のおかげでMVPを更新させていただきました。Microsoftとのお付き合いもある程度長くなってきており、その間にWPFもSilverlightも大きく進化しています。一方でAdobeも多くのテクノロジーを進化させてきておりますので、なにがお客さまにとってベストのテクノロジーと言える状態なのか、客観的に判断できるように勉強していきたいと思います。今年は営業部門として動いていますので、生々しい技術選択の現場を見ながら、技術に依存しない立場をとりながらも技術自体に詳しい必要があるというコンフリクトも感じ、もっと頑張っていかないといけないと感じております。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。アズマ

Thank you for coming to my BoF session at Tech Ed 2009 Yokohama

Thank you for everyone who came to my BoF Session at Tech Ed 2009 Yokohama. I won 3rd place in 13 BoF sessions by satisfaction ! (NSAT = 169.2) That was first time ever I talked about Jellyfish by Japanese specifically. I didn’t know many developers want to know more about our toolkit. If I could, I will find another place to talk about Jellyfish by Japanese again. Here’s my preso file. Thank you !

image blog post : Past and Modern RIA

These are my #2.

“A” of RIA is “application”. I think application should have long life cycle than “contents” has. Thus, RIA should have well considered maintainability, variable domain and stable domain. Every elements should be separated for better, flexible maintenance. Let’s take a look slides…

team model of 2ndfactory

I discussed with Arturo Toledo about our ongoing project. In this mail thread he mentioned about my PPT slides with graphic element, if I could post these preso, it would be great even without more words. I am too much flattered, but I decided to try post by images. As one of Japanese, sometimes I have communication problem because of my English skill. But as he said so, images talks. Here’s my first experimental post. These are slides about our team model. (I have to write tools / Roles relationship one for Adobe, with Flash Catalyst next.)
