Product Description

Product Description
How soon can you learn Adobe Flex 3? With this book's unique hands-on approach, you will be able to tinker with examples right away, and create your own Rich Internet Applications with Flex within the first few chapters. As you progress, you learn how to build a layout, add interactivity, work with data, and deploy your applications to either the Web or the desktop.

Learning Flex 3 offers step-by-step instructions that are clear and concise, along with tips and tricks that author Alaric Cole has gathered after years of using Flex and teaching it to fellow developers at Yahoo! You'll understand how Flex works, how to use the MXML markup language and work with ActionScript, how to deploy RIAs to the desktop using Adobe AIR, and much more.

Whether you're a beginner, or an experienced web developer coming to Flex from another platform, Learning Flex 3 is the ideal way to learn how to:

  • Set up your environment with FlexBuilder and Eclipse
  • Create a new Flex project
  • Use the different design views in Flex
  • Write code with MXML
  • Lay out your Flex application
  • Embed images and graphics
  • Build a user interface
  • Add interactivity with ActionScript
  • Handle user input
  • Move, display, and collect data
  • Add custom components with MXML
  • Add sound effects, filters, and transitions
  • Style your applications with CSS, skins, and themes
  • Deploy applications to the Web, or to the desktop using Adobe AIR

Also included are brief explanations of objects, classes, components, properties, methods, types, and other Flex attributes. You will find that Learning Flex 3 is not only the most complete tutorial for Flex, it's also the quickest way to get going with the latest version of this powerful framework.

About the Author
Alaric Cole has been working with Flash technologies since the introduction of ActionScript. Once it came on the scene, he's been focused primarily on Flex development, creating enterprise applications with rich data visualization, interactive media, and advanced user interface components. Pushing Flex beyond its comfort zone, he has worked with Adobe to discover ways to improve the technology.

A leader in the industry, Alaric has spoken at conferences such as Adobe MAX and 360|Flex, and has contributed a number of open-source components to the Flex community. He uses Flex in his daily work at Yahoo!, leading development and consulting on projects across the company.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginners who aren't Dummies., 27 Jun 2009
By Michael Nieuwenhuizen (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had to learn Flex in a week for my work, and first picked up Flex 3 Bible but it was very messy. Then I found this one, and suddenly I saw the light. This book is detailed enough without trying to cover everything (like the 900+ pages of the Flex 3 Bible), and the text reads well.

I've got a lot of experience with Flash. ActionScript and XML, which helps, but I think that a beginner could easily follow everything explained in this book. A perfect way to learn about Flex.
