Topic: Web-related technologies

Session Abstract:
- Application developers are constantly under pressure to deliver more with less time. To build a quick, rich application with limited or no Flash knowledge is possible using Flex Builder.
- The Adobe application development environment 'Flex Builder' (Flex Framework) is a very friendly tool to work with. The output of the Flex application is a Flash file. Flash has become hard to learn, but using the drag and drop features using the Flex 2 development environment it makes the developer's life much easier. As a rich internet application, Flex Builder offers Ajax enhancements with 'eye candy' output.
- In this presentation, I will present how a simple Flex application is built in a very short time, and integrated in to your web site. I will compare the components in other development environments with the Flex components that support similar features. Also I will explain more advanced features like communication with database applications and other environments like ASP.net via XML web services. Prototyping with the Adobe Flex 2 application will be an entertaining experience.
