Flex 4 is a huge update, and its combination with Flash Catalyst and AIR 2.0 has
broadened the possibilities both on the authoring side and the publishing. It is
now a simple matter to create Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that seamlessly
merge designer-led user interfaces with developer-led interactions and data inte-
gration. AdvancED Flex 4 covers all aspects of the Flex project lifecycle from the
workflow enhancements of Flash Catalyst to integrating with data services and
web 2.0 APIs, to testing and securing the final product.
Using a practical hands-on approach, the book illustrates exactly how to create
robust and scalable enterprise-grade RIAs. It includes tutorials on data binding,
building Flex themes with Illustrator and Flash Catalyst, creating AIR 2.0-powered
desktop and mobile applications, and optimizing designer and developer work-
flow with Flash Catalyst.
You will also learn about the benefits of a Test-Driven Development process,
and effectively integrating Flex 4 with Java, PHP, SOAP, and other server- and
client-side technologies. After reading the chapter on JavaScript integration, you
will be ready to create applications that can use Ajax and Flex 4 together. The final
part of the book is a unique and eclectic mix of advanced topics including mash-
ups, migrating existing web content to RIAs, Flash platform security, 3D rendering
using Papervision3D, and audio and video streaming.
Through reading this book, you will benefit from the wealth of information
and years of experience the authors hold, and will build on your existing knowl-
edge to take your Flex skills to the next level. Whether you’re a Flex 4 beginner
or an intermediate user, this book provides all the information you need to
become a real expert.
