Flex 2 Useful links
This blog is going to be the chronicle of my trip through learning how to make rich internet applications with yet another tool, Flex. I have been a web developer for about 13 years now and up until this point, everything was "ColdFusion + Javascript + CSS + Photoshop" to make it all look good and act like it should. Well, it's now time to move on and embellish my bag of tricks. And with that, this trip through learning Flex and its two languages, MXML and ActionScript begins!
I wanted to make sure this first post had some of the most useful links that I could get my hands on and to do that I tapped into a good friend and Flex Guru God Warlord, Andy Trice. Andy works for Cynergy and truly has opened my eyes to what is possible, and that it's even possible for me to start doing some of these cool things!
Anyway, here is the first of which I believe there will be MANY links to his site,

I'm in the same boats as Jason. Looking to learn Flex. I have a fairly solid understanding of AS1, and I've been using Flash since v4, but it's mostly from a designer's perspective.
So, bring it on. You made it to my Google Home Page.
