Jen DeHan
Jen deHaan was raised by wolves in the deep woods of the Canadian north. Later in life, Jen worked with Flash as a deseloper, then wrote about Flash for five versions, and then worked on stuff that didn’t include much Flash. She came to her senses in 2007 by rejoining the fabled Flash team at Adobe as a QE, focusing on the good stuff—Motion (on timelines). Jen enjoys long walks in the rain pondering how many times she can use the word Flash in a bio, and admits that after numerous years in California she is no longer addicted to Tim Horton’s coffee.

Josh Tynjala
Josh Tynjala discovered Flash in late 2004 as an intern working for a marketing company in Duluth, Minnesota. Flash Player provided the perfect way to combine his degree in Computer Science with his lifelong interest in visual arts. In 2005, Josh moved to California and established his first blog, Zeus Labs, to begin sharing his ideas and experiments. Around the same time, Macromedia released the first public previews of Flash Player 9 and Flex 2. Excited and driven to jump immediately into the future of Flash, Josh earned some recognition with one of his early AS3 experiments, a Flex app that used binary sockets to connect Flash Player to AOL Instant Messenger.
