Singapore Flex Usergroup

Adobe launches Flex Showcase on Flex.org. The Flex Showcase is a flex-based application powered by Drupal, aimed at gathering a collection of Flex applications available online.

You could sift through the entire list, view the screenshots and description of each application and filter through the categories like technology and industry. The thumbnails looked pretty bad when they got resized and I do not understand why the Flex Showcase application has to appear in a pop-up.

Looking beyond these two blemishes, the Flex Showcase app itself is quite nicely done up and skinned. Go check it out, browse through the applications or get your application listed!

Raghunath Rao, technical evangelist at adobe, for the flex product line contacted me a couple of days back and wanted to pass this message to the community here.

As a step towards knowing what the developer community needs, especially while learning Flex, I would like to know about the bottleneck topics that people encounter while trying to learn Flex. By this I mean, the topics that you found difficult to grasp without external help.I start off by pointing out the bottlenecks I encountered while learning flex.

1) itemRenderes & itemEditors

2) WebServices

Could you, ask this question on your FUG forum and help me get some insight from your friends in Singapore?

So guys, go ahead and post your ‘tough to grasp’ topics as comments to this post, and I’ll make sure Raghu keeps track of the issues. Hopefully, he’ll be able to provide us with assistance from Adobe’s end which would help make things easier to learn, and use Flex!
