Welcome!

This site focuses on rich internet applications (RIAs) and Adobe Flex^®. Its main audience is Flex developers, including newbies and wannabes.

Site content is summarized below, access is through the links at right.

Note that site content is driven by my own Flex explorations — I learn best by creating demo apps and primers that illustrate/explain the mechanics of things (often I'm really just explaining it to myself).

For RIA/Flex newbies

Pages in this category are very high level intros (but contain links to more in-depth resources) and some sample Flex-based sites.

Flex primers

Primers here are for both beginners and intermediates. Next up is a primer on Flex frameworks and maybe one on design patterns in AS3.

My Flex Demo Apps

I've created several apps that demo Flex functionality. Links to these demo apps are at right. However, if this is your first visit I recommend accessing the My Flex demo apps page for a brief overview of each demo app and the Flex features it explores.

Latest demo app: World Data Explorer

For Flex Developers

The pages in this section are mostly reference materials: lists of good books and informative blogs, info on libs of Flex/AS code and components, links to sites offering great video training, and more. Some of these resources are excellent, and some (like the Flex Examples blog) are indispensable.

SAS for Flexers

Since I'm still interested in SAS I've included some info on SAS appdev, especially the RIA/SAS connection. While these pages may be useful to SAS programmers they're primarily targeted at RIA developers unfamiliar with SAS.

About

A couple of pages about me, essentially an online resume for potential employers/clients (gotta pay the bills...)
