LFFS – 1: Meet the Authors, Meet Flex

This first post is an introduction of Scott and myself and a way to set a base for what we’ll be up to in the coming posts. Our next post is called Flex Defined. In Flex Defined we’ll define the major topics of Flex that are important for a novice learning Flex to be aware of.

Blogging on O’Reilly’s Inside RIA

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.
