Announcement: IQ Interactive

Posted by Corey on April 22, 2009 at 9:19 pm.

The past couple weeks have been extremely hectic work, writing, and…this: Next Monday I am joining the dev team at IQ Interactive. It’s an exciting move because they’ve been traditionally excelled in Flash development. Now they are venturing into the world of Silverlight. Initially I’ll be working on an exciting, creative, and ground breaking Silverlight application (I wish I could say more, but mum is the word for right now). Additionally, IQ is dedicated to becoming a major player in the Silverlight space. I’m very excited to join the team and help make IQ a force to be reckoned with in Silverlight.

Every new beginning is accompanied with an end. Leaving Schematic is my end, and I’m leaving with a heavy heart. I can’t speak highly enough of my time with Schematic. When I started, my goal was to learn as much as I could about Silverlight. They provided me with all the opportunity to do so, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

Finally, the people at Schematic are amazing. Everyone I’ve worked with is at the top of their game producing amazing, high quality work. I wish everyone the best of luck and hopefully we’ll work together again.

Thanks Josh, learning Silverlight just takes motivation. If you already do .NET programming, then you certainly have a leg up. I came from an ASP.NET background, which was a challenge because Silverlight development is more like desktop developer than client/server.

Good luck, let me know if you need some resources.
