To: my future Canadian boss :-)

Hello!

I’m not sure if this post is going to help me or not but I’m blogging anyway :)

Fact is I wanna move to Canada. I had enough of hot summer and would like to experience living abroad (again). So, if you are a Canadian please check my résumé clicking here and hire me hehehe. If you want, you may contact me directly by e-mail: bigodines ||at|| joomla.com.br

If you’re not sure if it will be worth to read my resume, I’m the main developer of two of the most famous Joomla! sites around the globe: Porsche and UNRIC (please note: developer != designer). Ok, that sound like I’m trying to impress :/. I don’t like these self-promotion lines but sometimes we need it :-)

Now, the bad news:
I’ve been reading about visas and it seems that a permanent work-permit for skilled professionals (According to those HSMP calculators I found on the web I am a skilled professional :-P) can take up to 14 months. A friend told me that if I manage to find a company interested in my services, this waiting time may be shorter (I’m still checking this information).

There is also another alternative: I can go to Canada as a student and work legally 20hrs/week while waiting for my permanent visa… but first I need some networking contacts in Canada.

drop me a line if you need a responsible, dynamic, nerd web developer :P

Flash and Joomla integration

One of the most requested things in the content management world is to make dynamic content to be displayed inside a flash movie. Flash has a feature that allows it to display content from a xml file, in this article I’m gonna explain how to display Joomla! content in your flash pages. With a little imagination you can change this “how-to” and make it work with other CMSes like Drupal, Xoops, or even your own CMS :-)

You can check a integration example accessing: http://www.mmoraes.com

Before we start:
- This is a script I wrote a while ago, it is probably not the best (or even the right) way to do this integration, but it works.
- You can use, change, set fire… do whatever you want with these classes but please keep my name and URL in the credits.
- Suggestions are always welcome :)

ok, let’s roll
