Learning Flex for Beginners

Following my last post, I kept trying to learn Flex when I can (interrupted by the arrival of my new Wacom, I reach over to draw whenever I want to program!).

I kept trying to find learning resources for complete beginners (who can program at least, but didn’t do any RIA development of Action Script programming before). In the end, I found that returning to Adobe is your best bet: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/?tab:quickstart=1.

Also, keep this open when you program, or at least add it to your favorites : http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ 

That’s about all you need (well, so far). Adobe will recommend that you buy their Flash Build to develop flex, but you can use the free FlashDevelop  http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/ for your Action Script and MXML needs (and its really good).

Remember to pass by http://flex.org/ to see some Flex application and see what it can do!

and lastly ….. Good Luck :)
