Adobe released Flex 3, the free open source framework for building rich internet applications. It’s time now to build real cross platform web applications that work the same no matter in which browser the application was opened or which operating system the user has.
Flex 3 is open source and is free. The new site opensource.adobe.com is hosting the source code and the community resources for Flex SDK and BlazeDS. And talking about BlazeDS.. for whom is familiar with LCDS, this is the free version of server based Java remoting and web messaging technology. It enables (among other things) server push to Flex and AIR clients.
The Adobe® AIR™ runtime lets developers use proven web technologies to build rich Internet applications that deploy to the desktop and run across operating system.What is great about this framework is the ability to develop desktop applications using Flex, Flash and Ajax. So if you are a skillful Ajax developer and you have a powerful web application that you think will benefit from running on desktop, you are definitely interested in AIR.
A new initiative was started and I wish it good luck. A Flex developer from Craiova is trying to create the first Flex User Group in Romania and right now he is on the mission to deliver his message to as many Flex developers he can.
