So as of monday my first full week at Blast Radius is completed. As you can see from the terribly pixelated photo above, I found it with no issues. It just so happens that my apartment is much closer then I originally thought. I literally have been leaving for work 2 minutes before I start, which still leaves enough time for an ever so terrible tasting 7/11 coffee.

Last week was full of a lot of orientation, but I did my best to take it in stride and quickly dive into learning the way things work here. I’ve started learning Mojo, which is an amazing interface development framework that uses the power of Dojo to create a very robust and abstract environment for developers. The code is structured very strongly in a Java style pattern and I’m finding that I’m adapting to it very well. I’ll have a post or two more very shortly about my experience learning it and it’s details which might provide someone coming after me a starting place.

That all said, I’m happy to be settled and in my new work environment with some amazingly talented developers. It’s been so long since I’ve worked with people who were as keen on interface development as I am. It was a long drive and a big decision to move out here, but I’m very glad I did it and cannot wait to continue to learn everything there is to learn about the experienced beast that is Blast. Tomorrow I’ll start “OpX” training which will help me understand and adapt to the very agile and fast past development cycles that have made this company so successful.
