Here is a little more about Deke:

Deke Smith began his career as an art director. His career in new media
began when he used a program called Director from a company then called
Macromind and became excited about the potential of the new media.

In 1994 he co-founded the Creative Syndicate, the first multimedia
design firm in Nashville. The company specialized in CD-ROM production
and Web site creation. The Creative Syndicate later merged with Edge
Internet Services to form EdgeNet Media.

After leaving EdgeNet Media he continued to explore the potential of
CD-ROM and Internet-based media with Tallent Communications in Nashville.

In 1999 he went to work as a producer for Little Planet Learning, a
company specializing in computer based training. During this time,
Macromedia began adding more and more programming functionality to its
Web-based animation program, Flash. Deke exploited the new functionality
of Flash to create a Flash-based, SCORM-compliant, training framework
that worked both on the Web and as standalone applications. The training
framework provided the basis for many of Little Planet’s products. This
includes training programs for McDonald’s, Microsoft, Union Planters,
Intuit and the U. S. Department of Education.

Moving to Mercury Intermedia in 2006, he continues to architect
programming frameworks within Flash and, now, Flex 2.
