It depends on the company. At Betfair we have dedicated java teams so the UI teams only do UI. Doesn;t matter if it is Flex/Flash/HTML/Ajax, we rarely touch the java code. You are not screwed you just need to find the right employer :). C

I mean that's ridiculous , last year there were just a few companies who were requiring some Java Knowledge now 80% of the job ads for Flex Developers (on dice.com) require some Knowledge in java. I understand that it is probably to connect to back end servers. My question is : How much knowledge are we talking about here?? I know nothing about Java. so I guess I am screwed? You end up finishing learning Flex to find out that they require another core technology!! That;'s stupid. Thank you.
