<p>I&#8217;ll be perfectly honest.. I didn&#8217;t know much about Adobe Flex. I knew that it was more or less an all coding method for Flash developers and the early adopters using JS/AJAX really enjoyed working with it. Flex based sites had always impressed me but the idea on how to make them seemed to complex. Since Flash MX had been released I had little experience writing any sort of AS other then animating banners or updating AS for already running sites.</p>
<p>Over the past couple of days I have been messing around with it and am truly having fun writing the code. My main focus for the last few years now has been XHTML/CSS as well as design and with basic understandings of Flash. Moving forward to improve my skill set Flex seems to be a fun tool to learn and a good next step for someone with a similar skill set.</p>
<p>If your interested in playing around with Flex here is a link that really helped me get started <a href="http://www.pixelate.de/blog/setting-up-a-as3-project-in-textmate">Setting up a AS3 Project in Textmate.</a></p>
