Best place to start - the "Getting Started" lessons that ship with Flex Builder. That's what I did. Spent a weekend just doing those lessons, that took me a long way. Get on the flex mailing lists ([email protected] and [email protected]) AFter that, I'd go for the Flex 2 Training From The Source. Adobe Press, I think. Great book. > 2. What skills beyond CF are required? Actionscript but you'll pick that up pretty easily if you are reasonably familiar with using javascript and such. It's not a leap. > 3.

Nothing unless you start building apps that require flex data services. Otherwise, if you've got CFMX 7, make sure you've got the latest updaters. Have fun!
