Learning Flex 2 means learning ActionScript 3

Posted in Flex | Mar 31, 2007 9:02:PM |

So for the last three weeks or so I have been reading "Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source". I've also been watching the Flex 2 training videos from Lynda.com and I must say there great. Since I started learning web development I have always stayed away from Flash, I not a graphics guy so when I started learning to develop web application I never though I would need Flash. That's for the designer guys I would always say, then Flash introduced ActionScript, yet another reason for me to stay away. Now here it is years and years later and now I have to learn ActionScript 3.

Well at least I have a strong background in web applications, my OOP is weak but with my books, videos, and the occasional email to some Flex Developers I'm moving forward. I have also been reading up on CFC's as they are a big part of the Flex integration.

Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source

So the last week I have been reading "Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source". I have my Advanced ColdFusion training at the end of May, and want to get through this book before I go. I am on Chapter 5 and ran into a problem.

While working on an AS 3 script I was getting an error when I would compile my code. The book for those that don't know about it is simple a step by step guide to creating a Flex app and explains all the features and components of Flex along the way. A great book for getting your feet wet with Flex 2.0.

If ColdFusion has to get pages from cheap dedicated servers, it may save you good time. After domain name registration, you can have your site's web space allocated. You also need to take care of the html or dynamic pages if you are looking for great search engine ranking of your web pages. The downlaod time can be enhanced by using cable internet. If all this sounds too complicated then an oracle certification or 642-453 test would be a good option to consider.
