Finally broke down and installed Flex
I can’t really explain why I’ve been so reluctant to download and install Flex/Flash Player 8.5 (mainly because I don’t really know why), but I finally broke down and did it tonight. Then I walked through a few of the tutorials… man do I hate it when I do something and then think to myself, “And why was it that I didn’t do this much sooner?” After just the few tutorials that I did, I have to say that Flex is friggin’ AWESOME! I’m pretty slammed at work right now so I’ll have to wait until I get a bit of a slow window before I can dive too much further into Flex and I can already tell you I’m going to be chompin’ at the bit in a bad way on this one. In the meantime, I may try to stay up a little later at night and do a little tinkering (with Flex of course).
Anyway, I just had to post and share my thoughts on how cool this is at first encounter. I’d love to hear some other first impressions (whether from a Flex “n00b” or someone who’s been coding in it for a while).

dude…i am pretty new to flex, only checked it out in the alpha. I am completely, totally blown away. Its obvious that flex is the future of RIA.
