This tech talk will introduce Flex — Adobe’s open source framework for building rich web applications. The presenter will build a Flex application to demonstrate the use of Adobe’s FlexBuilder tool, touching on some highlight features of the Flex framework. Components of that Flex application will then be used to create a desktop AIR application through the use of a Shared Library. To wrap things up, presenter will show how to get started with FlexMonkey — Gorilla Logic’s tool for automating testing of Flex and AIR applications.
