Some useful Flex blogs and sites

One of my favorite Flex sites is Peter deHaan's Flex Examples. Clearly written, live examples to test drive, source code included. He has another blog, Confessions of a Flex QA, which provides general Flex/Flash news, an aggragation of good posts from other Flex sites/blogs, and summaries of his own Flex Examples.
The Adobe Developer Connection site Devnet has lots of info, including many white papers.
The Flex Doc team blog is a wealth of information and examples.
Alex Harui's Flex Closet is another great resource.
Peter Ent's Flex solutions archive is another favorite.
Doug McCune's blog Always practice safe Flex is definitely meta-geeky (using a decompiler to decompile itself?!)
The mind boggling site by Ely Greenfield, quietlyscheming, not only has great code but he even has how-I-did-it demos.
Check out The Flash Enabled blog which also has Flex stuff, including an interesting page Flash & Flex Free Components and Source Files
Also useful are both Flex.org and Actionscript.org

A good place for newbie podcasts is The Flex Show blog. This also has more advanced tips, developer interviews and Flex conference presentations. Its podcasts are also available on iTunes.
Adobe provides a nice (and free) set of accelerated Flex training videos on its devnet page Flex in a Week
Among other Flex goodies, Ted Patrick's site has numerous videos
Flex.org has an aggregation of Flex and RIA focused podcasts on its Podcasts and Videocasts page.
Interesting is the graphics-geek blog presention Filthy Rich [Flex] Clients
A good RIA shootout is SYS-CON 06SEP07 panel discussion on RIAs
Also worth a look is 'Coding the Architecture' user group's presentation Flex, Silverlight or JavaFX - Which should you choose?

There are many other Flex/RIA resources that I just haven't had time to add, will do so shortly...
