Flex is an effective, free open source framework used to develop Rich Internet Applications for browsers, desktops, and operating systems. It provides a modern, standards-based language and a program model that supports common design patterns.

Developers will learn to build Flex applications with ActionScript 3.0, BlazeDS 3.2, and Java. This book will help readers mix ActionScript and MXML language to write Flex applications and use Flex Builder 3 and Ant Script to package them. Readers will be able to debug their applications, design CSS files, use data access methods and create custom components.

Flex users will learn to build a sample book explorer application with XML using the E4X approach, and use Adobe LiveCycle Data Services and BlazeDS components for accessing server-side data. Using Resource Manager class, they will localize Flex applications and with internationalization techniques they will be able to customize the application for multiple locales.
