Seoul Travel Diary #4 - I passed!

Just a quick post to let you know that today I passed my stand-up exam (teaching a unit of this Flash Lite course back to the Adobe guys) and am now a Adobe Certified Instructor for the Flash Lite 1.1 Mobile Application Development course. Woohoo! Next step is to work out some frameworks to get some courses happening back in Australia. One thing that I should point out is that the course focus is slightly different to what I originally thought it was. Rather than being aimed at Flash developers who want to learn about Flash Lite, it's rather aimed at other mobile developers (J2ME, etc) who want to see how to start using Flash to author Flash Lite content as an alternative to their previous ways - to turn them from the dark side to the Flash side of the Force. This actually is better for us since there is more people in that category, so we have more potential students.

I also booked some tours for myself today since the formal part of the trip is over now. Monday I'm visiting some old palaces and temples around the region, then on Tuesday I'm going to the DMZ - that's right baby, Kim Jong-il country ("What do you think of that now Hans Brix!?" ... Team America). Should be a real experience looking over the razor wire!

Anyway, I'm off tonight with the Adobe guys again (I think we're giving Korean food a break and going Italian or something) and some friends of the Perry's ... we're going to order James a kim chi pizza ... I'm sure there'll be some fun stories to post when I get back :) Until then ...

You look cold. And tired. And roanrey. But you sound like you're having fun. And a LOT of Korean beer! I've got one word for you. It's a number actually - 7 1/2. Ruv ru. T

Congrats Dale, Welcome to the wonderful world of Instructor-dom.

Kim-chi (Neo) Talbot looks very Matrix-esque in his black coat. All he needs are the sunnies and he's set.

While Bill looks as though staying warm in a cold Korean winter was an after thought when he packed ;)

Enjoy the rest of your stay & I look forward to hearing/seeing more of your SE Asian adventures when you're back.
