Thanks (i think) for the feedback. I realize Flex is more than RAD tool, in fact I have hardly used the GUI builder. My background was Java/Swing -> python -> C# -> Flex, based on the projects I was working on.
Anyways, I guess coming from Swing there are books (such as Filthy Rich Clients, one author Chet Haase works for Adobe now) which cover lots of neat tricks, details, expert type info. That's what I was sort of wondering about. --- In [email protected], Samuel Colak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > This strikes me a bit odd - what do people think Flex is ?
