Thanks, I'll focus on 3.0, though being new to flex and with the docs for 3.0 somewhat thin now, not sure what I'll be able to figure out. I hope adobe provides some straightforward db oriented tutorials, web services play only a minor role in most of my fellow developer's workload, db interaction is where it's at.
I'd appreciate anyone else's input on these subjects.
