HIGHLIGHT
A fast-paced, hands-on tutorial that both teaches and entertains readers as they
learn Flex 4 while building a complete application.
DESCRIPTION
Flex 4 is an open-source tool that allows developers to easily add life to web
applications with dynamic user features, colorful transitions, and eye-catching
animations. Flex also provides powerful data handling for industrial-strength
applications.
We think it should be just as much fun to learn Flex as it is to use it. And we
know that fun learning gets better results.
Hello! Flex 4 demonstrates how to get
started without getting bogged down in technical detail or academic edge cases.
In this book,
User Friendly cartoon characters offer commentary and snide side
comments, as the book moves quickly from Hello World into practical techniques.
Each one is illustrated with a hands-on example. Along the way, readers
will build a unique Flex application that mashes Yahoo Maps with Twitter
to keep track of friends.
KEY POINTS
. Demonstrates a complete application built over the course of the book
. Entertaining style with
User Friendly graphics
. Accessible to HTML or web developers without programming experience
