I had a great time doing an introduction seminar on Flex 2 Rich Internet Applications for Adobe this morning. We covered the basics of Flex Builder, states and effects, data binding, E4X, HTTPService and WebService functionality.
To wrap things up we then built a little Amazon search application from scratch, similar to the 15-minute Flickr demo most of you will probably have seen.
As promised here are the session notes and source code for the examples. Any questions or feedback — feel free to drop me a line!
