Learning more about Flex

At the moment I'm working in a new team. We're investigating how to develop user interfaces on top of web services. I'm using Flex from Adobe to build UIs and experiment with different techniques for doing this quickly and easily.

I'm having a lot of fun, the Flex facilities are very cool. But the learning curve is significant. I've been at this for about a month and I'm finally understanding how to do things the "Flex way".

One resource that I just came across is FlexExtensions.com. They provide training videos for Flash and Flex. The tutorial videos are free and the ones that I looked at are very short and informative.

There are lots and lots of other Flex resources, including the just restyled Flex.org site.

If you get chance to play with Flex, I highly recommend it.

P.S. I also hear that there's a big shortage of Flex developers. So you might land a good job by learning Flex.
