At Adobe's website you can read the following about Flex 2.0: 'Adobe Flex 2 software is a rich Internet application framework based on Adobe Flash that will enable you to productively create beautiful, scalable applications that can reach virtually anyone on any platform. It includes a powerful, Eclipse based development tool, an extensive visual component library, and high-performance data services enabling you to meet your applications' most demanding needs.' We will share our experiences and best practices on How to build Rich Internet Applications (RIA's) based upon Flex2.0 within a Spring and Hibernate enabled J2EE architecture.
James Ward is a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe. Much like his love for climbing mountains he enjoys programming because it provides endless new discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits and valleys. His adventures in climbing have taken him many places. Likewise, technology has brought him many adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the early 90's; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 90's; then Java and many of it's frameworks beginning in the late 90's. Today he primarily uses Flex to build beautiful front ends for Java based back ends. Prior to Adobe, James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data Systems.
