ActionScript skills to Javascript front end developer
<p>This may get lengthy.
I'm a Flash/Flex/ActionScript developer. My job went away and now I want to go back to my roots as a front end developer. I have a good foundation in CSS, HTML, XHTML, XML and Javascript. I'm rapidly learning jQuery. However, I don't have any samples to show my front end talents as my recent work was done almost entirely on the Flash platform. I'd like to impress potential employers with not only eye candy but a profound understanding of things like OOP, closures, patterns, testing, data handling, etc.
Do you think showing self-promotional mini-sites and code will be sufficient? I see a lot of jobs for experienced FEDs but almost none for mid-level coders, though because of my experience with ActionScript, I feel like I have a leg up on newbies. Any advice?</p>
