I am writing this letter on behalf of Ed Chipman, an Interactive & Motion Graphics : Flash Developer Stream student at the Nova Scotia Community College. For the past two years I have been Ed’s instructor for a wide range of courses on Flash and Flex development. Ed came to the college with a significant amount of skills and knowledge under his belt, particularly in PHP development. He leveraged this existing knowledge to help him explore new technologies, as well as compliment the Flash and Flex technologies he spent much of his time learning. The Flash developer stream requires a high level of dedication and passion for the subject matter in order to succeed and Ed rose to the challenge with flying colours.
I have been and continue to be very impressed with Ed's ability to meet rigorous project deadlines and requirements while maintaining a high level of quality in his work. His work ethic is based in maturity and a solid level of professionalism, despite having several other projects. Ed has demonstrated a real zest for working through complex problems to obtain a concrete viable solution; all the while willing to tackle any new technologies that are thrown his way. To say that Ed is an excellent self-motivator and coordinator of his own learning would be an understatement. This skill is a crucial element of any great developer in this ever changing IT industry.
I can truly recommend Ed as both a professional developer and a valuable asset to any project team, and can assure you that he will continue to strive for excellence throughout his career.
Sincerely, Sean Morrow, B.Sc. Faculty, Web Development / Interactive & Motion Graphics Nova Scotia Community College Truro Campus
