I've had the amazing opportunity to work at Mindfly Inc. for the last year.
When I started working here on January 28th of 2007, Mindfly was just starting
the transition into a css/div world, taking me along for the ride. This would
be an ongoing experience fueled by a unanimous drive to create user-friendly
and cutting-edge websites by all employees at Mindfly. Want proof? Just check
out the amazing breadth and know-how of the employee blogs for evidence. Much
of the content of these blogs encompasses issues we’ve encountered, or programs
and techniques we’ve found while developing applications.
Along the way I've discovered how to write console apps, develop web
services, work much more fluidly with IIS and MSSQL, and increase me knowledge of
.Net programming tenfold – particularly in regards to provider structures,
membership and profile provider included (I should have written more blogs…).
I've also gotten to know some wonderful people; a trail runner, a css guru, a
bartending windsurfer (thanks for the free beer!), a coding Genius, and a
punk-rockin' Swede (that description isn’t flattering for a team of
professional web developers, but I swear they build awesome websites!). These
people leant me their knowledge, their time, their wholehearted-determination,
and the necessary freedom to work and learn.
Alas, my time has come to move to a distant village (okay, maybe
not-so-distant) and further develop my relationship with my significant other.
I wish I could stay, I really do, and I will miss the great working environment
and work experiences created through the extraordinary efforts of the Mindfly
team.
So congratulations again for beautiful Lillian, John, hope to be at your
wedding next year Heather, I wish you well on your war waged on cross-browser
compliance Kyle (and look forward to your entertaining blogs), I’m excited to
see how SiteWorks develops, she’s beautiful too Rusty, and Gabe, you’ve just
started that adventure, so good luck.
