Flex in a week data services
Hello,
I am writing at the request of Twitter handle @ApacheFlex regarding the
"Flex in a Week Training" series, which I am currently participating in.
Many of the exercises require the trainee to make http service calls to a
server that was hosted by adobe but is no longer online (
http://www.adobetes.com). There were several services here that are
necessary to complete the exercises, but I unable specifically what most of
them are.
I have discovered an individual who hosted similar services for the purpose
of completing these exercises, but the data is not complete. For instance,
a Cold Fusion database service used by some of the exercises is provided ,
but the database does not seem to contain any data. This makes it
impossible to complete the exercises with the same results described in the
training videos/exercise documents. You can access these service here:
http://adobetes.beammath.com/.
Since Apache continues to promote the Flex in a Week training series on the
Flex website, I believe that you would have interest in correcting this so
that those wishing to learn Flex can derive full utility from this
otherwise incomplete training series.
I look forward to your response. Please let me know if I may be able to
provide any additional information that may be useful, and I will attempt
to do so. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Well it's the first time I heard of the problem.
If it's dealing with sever side, we don't have any influence on LiveCycle DS stuff, but if we can do it with BlazeDS, I would be glad to help. But in this case we would need a server we could run a BlazeDS service on.

Betreff: Re: Flex in a week data services
Hello,
Has there been a decision regarding what to do about the broken data
services used in this training series? I have put it off in the mean time
and am wondering if it will be fixed.
Thanks,

I know that the chart examples here
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf6568f-7ffe.html
tries to access a now non-existent adobe webserver. I have managed to grab
all those data files here:
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/budget.xml
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/expenses.xml
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/medals.xml
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/networth.xml
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/stocks.xml
http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/widgets.xml
If we are fixing the examples, we should point to these urls for the data.
Thanks,
Om

Most of the written content for "Flex in a Week" was donated to Apache
Flex. The plan has been to tweak the examples to use different backend
services. The person working on it might need help. Any volunteers?
