Welcome

...to the Flex Developer blog.

I'll be posting my commentary on new things in the Flex world here, as well as code samples, tutorials, and news about applications I'm developing including a Flex-based game I have in the works. Feel free to comment and provide feedback to my posts, post snippets or discuss problems/solutions.

Wow. I'm really excited for Adobe's upcoming release of Flex 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0. It looks like they're really taking a serious punch at making all those Flash app programmer-types out there happy.

More than that, though; Flex 2 will likely make quite an impact in the RIA area. Microsoft and the open source community have both pushed .net and PHP which have been widely used and well supported. After playing around with the Beta version of Flex Builder 2 I can see that Adobe is not just aiming to make development easier, but really trying to cater to the needs of rich internet application developers.

The next version of ActionScript is no small step forward either. The online documentation keeps improving, and it is readily apparent that a lot of careful planning has gone into the class library. These classes look like a good foundation for OO application development.

Kudos to Adobe. I look forward to using Flex extensively in the future.
