TheFrameworks’ new location in Detroit continues to receive a very positive welcome from IBM and other US based clients.
Feedback from IBM over the last few days has reinforced the success of our continued relationship and the high regard that IBM has for TheFrameworks. This is underlined by the 20 years of hard work and success that TheFrameworks has continued to deliver for all its clients.
We all look forward to continuing this close working relationship with our US based clients from the new Detroit location.
So that we can all follow the trials and tribulations of the MYFJ team on its journey to build and develop a unique social networking site, TheFrameworks has built the new MYFJ team blog.
The blog will include updates on design, technical development, marketing and PR and anything the team is currently interested in. You can support the MYFJ team in its journey by leaving comments or by asking questions.

Monday March 1st 2010 Detroit reached out to its US IBM customer base to say Hi. The new branch office has been busy preparing itself to support the US clients. US markets have become more active despite all the global distractions surrounding them. Brand development and marketing is as important as ever, businesses are realizing that without proper advice and a clear marketing plan to support their goals there is little chance of them achieving them. The new International Frameworks is giving this advantage to many businesses and its ready to help.
At the beginning of February I had the opportunity to travel to Brighton to attend training courses for Papervision3D and Flash Games Programming. Both courses were led by Papervision3D development team member and Plug-In Media’s technical Director Seb Lee-Delisle.
I wanted to use the courses to strengthen and build upon what I have already taught myself, and to be inspired with what else is possible in Flash. Everyday I surf the web and discover new and interesting experiences. Being the curious type I love to discover how someone else has solved a problem so that I can use my understanding within my own work.
The Papervision3D training course was a great introduction into the features available, discussing key points that you wouldn’t normally think of, or that you would only pick up through experience. What I found really useful was talking through some of the project examples that Seb has been involved with.
The Flash games programming course was a bigger learning opportunity. The course went over areas for developing classic games such as Asteroids, or Moon lander, and also looked at how to develop a basic platform game. Seb ran through a lot of useful examples that he has been involved with and answered many questions of other types of games that you can create.
Both courses were a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend them. I’m a confident developer but I learned a lot that I couldn’t learn from a book and it was also useful to see how other developers worked.
