I feel very fortunate to have been asked to be a part of the new O’Reilly Inside RIA blog site. Rich Tretola asked me if I would like to be involved a short time ago. I decided to take a stab at something that isn’t yet that prominent in the blogosphere: “Learning Flex from Scratch”. This is the title of the series that my friend Scott Sheridan and I are writing for Inside RIA. Scott is new to Flex and we’ll be covering all the stuff he’ll be learning to become a Flex developer.

Here’s our summary for the series:

This series of installments will chronicle the learning of a complete beginner as he attempts to become a Flex developer. The series will culminate with the production of a working application built in Flex and deployed on the web. Our hope is to create a reference that will serve as a guide to those new to programming and wishing to step into the world of Flex.
