The problem I see with most of this content is that it is very old - using older versions of Flex and older tools like Flex Builder. This is one of the reasons I started to create some tutorials around Apache Flex and IntelliJ - for there to be some updated content out there using modern IDEs, distributions, and somewhat related frameworks (Starling, Feathers).
I have seen things shifting around and it seems there are a number of people coming back to the technology and new people giving it a go. If I was interested in Apache Flex and all I had access to were outdated tutorials - I'd probably forget about it. From a new user perspective things must appear active and recent. Obviously, if a new user had a peek at this mailing list it would be obvious how active Apache Flex really is - but this is not front facing... and neither is it an appropriate mechanism for introducing users to the platform. Here is a question: what sort of tutorials (written, video, demos) would be useful in both attracting new users and getting the attention of bitter old Flex devs who still have a little spark of mxml left in their souls? I'm willing to continue putting some stuff together - and I bet there are others out there too. Traditional Apache Flex, FlexJS, and eventually the Feathers Flex stuff that Josh is building all have great potential and having up to date resources that reflect that is essential. I'm absolutely willing to dedicate time to all three areas - and to seek out others who may have contributions to make... so if anyone has any ideas... is there a mechanism to keep a list or wiki within Apache? -- Joseph Labrecque Senior Interactive Software Engineer University of Denver Adobe Education Leader | Adobe Community Professional
