I have been a “Java Swinger” for almost 8 years, and just as I was thinking about learning Flex, which is used--alongside Swing--by my employer, you show up at Adobe; impeccable timing. <BR/><BR/>Chat, I seriously think that you can make Flex much more attractive by helping us make the “transition”. I intend to purchase a Flex book (Adobe Flex 3: Training from the Source). As you already know, this is a crucial time for RIA, I know that a lot of developers are thinking (at least those that haven’t decided yet) about which RIA technology to learn; trying to decide where to invest their precious time and energy. Blogs like these, books that are targeted to a Java audience or just plain good books “like Filthy Rich Client”, and even promotions like a FlexBuilder community edition or personal license (a la IntelliJ) would probably add a large number of Java developers to the Flex roster. <BR/><BR/>I hope Adobe understands how valuable you are in attracting those who use one the most popular programming languages on earth. <BR/><BR/>Thank you. <BR/>Aziz K.Azizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16446120637968302730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843566830671277353.post-36252783727607142742008-02-29T08:06:00.000-08:002008-02-29T08:06:00.000-08:00thustle: I don't know about other IDE options in p...thustle: <BR/>I don't know about other IDE options in particular, but then I'm new to the space and haven't surveyed the territory.<BR/><BR/>I would think that there are plenty of editor options that would do a decent job of handling ActionScript3 editing as well as helping out with the XML editing of mxml files.<BR/><BR/>The GUI builder is definitely a nice thing to have for the main UI construction, but it's also not critical; the layout managers in Flex do a lot of the work for you.<BR/><BR/>The point of the trial period is, I assume, to get you to try it and see whether the productivity of the tool outweighs the cost. You might try it out and see what you think. In the meantime, check out your other options and see where you want to invest your time or money.Chet Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250991041464602854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843566830671277353.post-22019996959708038762008-02-29T02:39:00.000-08:002008-02-29T02:39:00.000-08:00Thanks for the roundup.

I'm interested in using Flex/Air to access the service layer of our spring based web app. <BR/>My only concern with learning this is that practically all of the tutorials seem to assume that you're using Flex Builder, which I'm not prepared to buy yet (and the trial period restriction isn't very tempting). As a Java guy, the IDE situation seems like a bit of a step backwards and a hindrance to Flex's adoption - it just doesn't seem as easy to jump straight into and test the water as Java. Do you know of any other options?<BR/>Anyway, keep it up (oh, and the Filthy Rich Clients book was great, thanks).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843566830671277353.post-82067590434666447512008-02-28T08:17:00.000-08:002008-02-28T08:17:00.000-08:00Nice writeup!
