[RT] My Flex journey.
Greetings all,
I'm new to the Apache Flex community and I'm very much interested in
Flex as it goes.
Hope everyone would be patient enough with me :D.
Since everything is new I would like to gather/learn as much information
as I can.
Though I have read articles regarding Flex, I wanted to start from a
clean mind of Zero Knowledge.
So that I won't be affected of any information I know.
Q: Where to begin? (How to become a Flex Developer).
Any inputs are welcomed.
Regards,

Experiencing github was like...
For example my Idea on [Wiki] is
Add `[Website] Discussion related to the Website`, this still needs
to be discussed in the mailing list.
Other:
While waiting for Mustella we are allowed to create any component we can
think of
If we would like to create a component similar to github with the
id of `slider`.
Does this go to [Jira] as Improvement?
During my search I stumbled upon away3D.
If we were to integrate their existing components to Flex, adding
3D capabilities.
This will be on [Proposal]?

Kiel

Depends on the item/idea.
General Questions might go best on stackoverflow.
Questions related to flex go on this mailing list.
Put code ideas unrelated to Flex on github and your twitter accont ;)
Put code ideas related to Flex on github and on let us know with this
mailinglist
You can discuss non-code ideas for flex in this mailinglist too.

Greetings,
Still writing some Flex code.
Question:
In case I have some Items( Not Framework / Code ) or Ideas. That I
would like to add to the community.
Where do I place this? Wiki or Apache Flex website?

Hi,
> What's the next step? Where to go from here?
Write some Flex code!
There a huge amount of resources out there. Here's a couepl to get you started:
- Adobe's Flex development centre [1] is a good place to start.
- Tour de Flex [2] is also a great resource that includes a large amount of sample code.
- If you looking for a book on Flex I'd recommend the "training form the source" Flex books while it a little out of day it a good step by step introduction to how to code in Flex. Try and get your hands on the Flex 4 or 4.5 version.
Thanks,
Justin

Hmm Yeah then we must have a different interpretation of what a Flex
Application is .
To me a Flex applicaton is an application running inside the Flash player
(in the future maybe as native JS ) and leveraging the Flex API regardless
of the input language or framework used to create it.
I did nt know that it has to be written in AS3/MXML/CSS to be called Flex
application.

I understand what you wrote: The question is "what is a flex
application?". If you write an application entirely using gwt4x - an
application that can not be compiled/worked on without using gwt4x -
then I would hardly call it a Flex application but rather a gwt4x
application. Maybe that's just the way I name things: But I think its
clearer to understand that way.

I think i understood the question Martin.
My point is that ActionScript must NOT be the input language to write
Flex applications.
One can also do it in Java like in the link i provided.

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.
Posted by Alain Ekambi <ja...@googlemail.com>.
"Yes: ActionScript 3 is fundamental."
Hi Martin,
While i recommend Flex devs to learn ActionScript. ActionScript is not
mandatory to buil Flex applications. Based on a customer request a couple
of years ago we create Flex4j (Flex for Java it is) That allows Java
developers to write Flex application entirely in Java using GWT (No
ActionScript required)
A demo can be found here : http://www.gwt4air.appspot.com/
The entire application is written in Java and contains a lot of demos. You
can also hit the the source button to see how the code looks like.
We opensourced the product sometimes ago http://emitrom.com/gwt4flex and
it has been a great success since then.
Greats,
Alain

I'd say, no.
There is just so much one can learn. It might open Pandora's box if you
try knowing all about those tools as well :)

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

And if we want to use Java as your input language.
simpy use Eclipse with the GWT plugin for free :) .
(That s another reason why we went the GWT route by the way).
No matter which route you take. You will love Flex.
Best thing out there when it comes to RIA.

Kiel,
There are 3 mainstream, commercially available tools, all offering
some semblance of free (for 30 days): Flashbuilder (based on Eclipse)
[1], Powerflasher FDT (based on Eclipse) [2], IntelliJ IDEA 11 (not
based on Eclipse) [3]. In addition, folks (on OSX) have been known
to use TextWrangler, TextMate, vim, and even a few other tools that
are less well known, commercially. And on Windows there is a Visual
Studio plugin for Flex. I cannot speak for Linux (Oleg?).
I do not believe Apache Flex has spoken (or would subscribe to) a
specific tool. Apache Flex is made up of developers from all walks of
life from around the world, so I think it's safe to assume that any
tool that can work with the framework would suffice (some maybe better
than others, but preference plays a large role). Adobe pushes [1],
Powerflasher pushes [2], and JetBrains pushes [3].
There are myriad sources available to help you figure out the basics,

Hi Martin & Alain,
Information is Awesomeness XD.
Now I need to look for the tools...
`Tools` to be used are of User preference. Use tools where one is
most comfortable with.
[Current Status]

+ ActionScript 3 knowledge

Question:
1. What is Preferred tool (IDE) `for Flex` development?
1.1 Does the Apache Flex community have a preferred tool?

I assume you mean with "for Flex" that you want to improve the SDK:
If you want to participate in helping with the Flex SDK then you should
be aware that the different systems are written in different languages.
Basic tools are a Text Editor and a Version Control system such as SVN
or Git and a web browser :-). If you are working with code it makes your
life easier if you use a IDE/Texteditor with support for the particular
language.
The compiler (that makes .swf/.swc files out of AS3/MXML/CSS) is
written in Java and you need a Java Development Kit (JDK) for it. If you
want to improve it you need to know Java.
The libraries (that allow to show buttons and alike) are written in
ActionScript 3. You need the SDK's compiler to compile those classes.
There are various SDK's for ActionScript.
The documentation (that shows up in the generated docs) is written
using asdoc annotation (another java tool from the SDK) in ActionScript
files and those are mixed with XML files.
Flex further uses build scripts (code that generates various parts of
the SDK). They are written in ANT (a java based tool, not part of the SDK).
IDE's for Java
Eclipse
IntelliJ IDEA
NetBeans
...
IDE's for AS3
FlashDevelop
FlashBuilder (based on Eclipse)
FDT (based on Eclipse)
IntelliJ IDEA
Rase (based on a IntelliJ tool)
TextEditors with AS3 support

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

Hi Martin & Alain,
Good Answer.
Then I need to decide. Ok, I decided to go `for Flex`.
With this I have established a realization.
ActionScript 3 is Fundamental in developing applications `with
Flex` and/or in developing `for Flex`.
Flex4j (Flex for Java) can be also be used in developing
applications `with Flex`
There are a lot of technologies `on-top-of-Flex`.
Another question:
1. What tools do I need to get started in developing `for Flex`
2. Should I be concerned of the technologies that are `on-top-of-Flex`
if I focused on developing `for Flex`.
[Note]
To avoid confusion with the `with Flex` or `for Flex`
`with Flex` will be using Flex as an application for the Flash Platform.
`for Flex` will be improving Flex as a Framework.

Flex is a SDK: Right now it allows to develop applications for the Flash
Platform
using first and foremost ActionScript3 but also MXML and CSS.
If you want to improve the Flex SDK you obviously better know all (at
least a good deal) about
making applications with the Flex SDK ;)
Yes: ActionScript 3 is fundamental.

Hi Martin,
This would be my First turning point. Seems to be a difficult question...
But I need to ask what could be the differences between the two?
Regardless of my decision am I correct in saying that,
`ActionScript` is a fundamental requirement for me to progress.

Hello Kiel,
what sort of thing do you want to develop?
Do you want to develop applications with Flex?
Do you want to develop (for) the Flex framework?
:)
Starting from Zero I would suggest the ActionScript development center [1]
specifically [2] to learn the programming language. And the Flex [3] for the
Flex specific parts.
