Adobe Flex Training

Los Angeles Adobe Flex 4 Training

Flex 4 Training: Developing Rich Internet Applications provides experienced application developers with hands-on, practical experience using Flex. This four day Adobe Flex training course introduces developers to all the primary features of Flex they'll need to know in order to build a fully functional, well architected front end for a Rich Internet Application (RIA). MXML tags, event handlers and ActionScript 3.0 will be manipulated in this Flex training.

Your instructor will cover the pitfalls and the best practices when developing rich internet applications.

Flex is a powerful open-source application framework that allows developers to easily build mobile applications for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry Tablet OS, as well as traditional applications for the browser and the desktop using the same programming model, the same tool, and the same code base.

While Flex applications can be built using only the free Flex SDK, Adobe Flash(r) Builder(tm) software can accelerate development through features like intelligent code editing, step-through debugging, memory and performance profilers, and visual design. Adobe also offers enterprise-grade advanced data services through the open source BlazeDS project and the commercial Adobe LiveCycle(r) Data Services ES2 module.
