Introducing Adobe Flex to Java Developers

Sample applications and upcoming presentations on Adobe Flex for Java developers

Oct. 23, 2006 12:45 PM

Christophe Coenraets, a senior Flex Evangelist from Adobe has published a blog showing a number of sample Flex applications that communicate with Java on the server side. And yes, Christophe knows Java. His blog "30-minutes Flex test-drive for Java Developers" is a recommended read for Java developers and architects who are ready to consider anything else besides Java Swing or AJAX for creation of their Rich Internet Applications.

Also, there will be a couple of free Flex-for-Java presentations for software developers who work in New York City or in New Jersey:

On September 13, myself and Victor Rasputnis of Farata Systems will present at Java users group in New York City at Google's offices. Register today if interested, there is only a hundred seats available on the first-come-first-serve basis.

On December 5, I'll be presenting at Princeton JUG on the same subject.
