Two of my coworkers and I took those 2 particular classes through Figleaf Training in Washington DC. The instructor was very knowledgable and the training materials were pretty much your run-of-the-mill book w/ accompanying CD. Overall we were very pleased with the courses. The 3 of us are all previous Flash/ColdFusion developers - I'd say the courses definitely ramped us up much more quickly than we could have ever done on our own (which was our intention - we wanted a solid foundation that would allow us to get quickly out of the gates).

The company I'm working for is preparing to shift it's web development from ASP.NET to Flex and is interested in bringing in a good Flex instructor on-site to provide training to a small group of developers. The company is located in Chicago, but we're willing to fly someone in from anywhere in the U.S. and provide accommodations for the week. If we go with the Adobe courses (are there alternatives?) we would target the 3-day "Flex 2: Developing Rich Client Applications" followed by the 2-day "Flex 2: Data and Communications". I am very interested in hearing other people's experiences with any type of instructor-lead Flex training courses and any suggestions on training providers and/or specific instructors. - What company provided the training? - How was the instructor? - How was the training material? - Any other suggestions or feedback? My thanks in advance to everyone for the assistance! Michael Levine
