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.
What am I hoping to get from all this, well I hoping in less the 6 months my blog will be Flex based. I also have been reading blog posts and the Apollo for Adobe Flex Developers Pocket Guide which you can download for free at the link. Ray Camden has posted a couple of Apollo apps, which the second one is pretty cool a Log Monitor for ColdFusion. I hope to have some Apollo apps here soon, my first one is lame but hey you have to start some where.
