What Next?

Recommended Posts

I'm just about finished with the book, and I'd like to know the best way to build on what I've learned. In particular, I'd like to know how experienced Flex developers create applications (e.g., which of the five ways to accomplish a particular task do most experienced devs choose). I know AS3 well from creating apps in Flash CS Pro (and FlashDevelop), but I don't know what Flex devs use/avoid.

 

TIA,

 

Some noob

My first answer would have been to study more ActionScript, but since you're already comfortable with that, I would look into cookbook/recipe type resources to get a bigger picture of how things are done as well as how specific tasks are best accomplished. You may want to also look into Flex frameworks.

"Noob",

 

I came from the exact background as you (learned AS 3 using Flash CS and then moved on to Flex), so I have asked the same questions before!

 

I agree with Larry that using the "Cookbook" series is great!

 

I also find these resources to be very helpful as well:

Tour de Flex - This site, which is part of Adobe, is a must see resource for all Flex related topics! If you download the AIR app. there are literally hundreds of examples (with code) showing you how to do just about anything you can imagine!

 

gotoandlearn - This is a great site by Adobe engineer Lee Brimlow, which features lots of how-to video tutorials about various Flash related topics. You have to search around a bit to find the Flex specific stuff, but there are some good tutorials here!
