To expand upon Tino's and David's comments: you can also find useful tutorial projects at www.developer.yahoo.com and on www.youtube.com . For youtube do a search on 'adobe flex' . For a public flex project you might also try www.sourceforge.net . Being part of a project is an excellent learning and motivational tool and I speak from experience haven't written my first computer program in 1968 (yes... they had computers in 1968 ).

Please help. Thanks? Actually to add on what David said, attach yourself to a public flex project (look for something on code.google. com). I have always found it easier to motivate myself in an environment where I'm expected to produce. -Tino On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 8:17 AM, David Pariente <xxmapachexx@ yahoo.es> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > >> > >I also wanted to become a flex developer, and i'm lazy and less motivated. >What i do is have 3 or 4 personal projects appart of the jobs.
