Why Flash Developers Should Care About Flex ?

[excerpt]

Many have questioned the validity of Flex as a platform, and wondered why I like it and use it. I believe for many this is to understand if it is worth investigating, and to shed more light onto where it fits in our future.

I will attempt to explain now why I like it, my inferences on where Macromedia see's Flash & Flex going, and where I see Flash Developer's within that path.

While, working on the similar project & technology, I just wanted to jot down a write up on the transformation of Flash to Flex, specificlly in the environment I am familiar with. Btw, Via 'Flog' I landed onto this nice and timely article by Jesse Randall Warden. He chronologies the transformation of Flash to Flex from designer & developer perspective. I hope, it's worth reading connoisseur's words.

If anything to go by the rhetoric of the writeup, it's suppose to be the greatest transformation we have seen in the timeline of Flash pushing the limits across the boundaries of RIA applications.

It's worth reading, while Macromedia is on a launch pad to update Flex RIA 1.5 framework.
