I would like to see a page setup that shows, step by step, (and I'd be happy to create it) that shows how to create Flex Unit tests for parts of the framework so we can start having test coverage, i.e. "This is the Apache Flex standard procedure for setting up Hamcrest FlexUnit tests, blah blah bla

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

I'm the kind of guy who like to read, while learning... I'd suggest the Adobe Flex -- Training from the Source book. It is slightly dated now, but it will get you going quickly. Both of listed authors are contributers to Apache Flex. http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Flex-4-5-Fundamentals-Training/dp/

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. 2012/3/30 JP Bader > Kiel, > > Th

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

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 TextWrangl

Looks like there should be a wiki page for these questions ;) Is somebody going set this up? Either we should use the existing "Getting started" wiki page [1] or we should open up a new page for this. Thoughts? - Sebastian [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Getting+Started On

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

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 d

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

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

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

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. Cheers, Alain On Mar 30, 2012 10:02 AM, "Martin Heidegger" wrote: > Hello Alain, > > on-top-of-Flex

Hello Alain, on-top-of-Flex are a lot of technologies: The question was related to develop Flex applications - not gwt4x applications yours Martin.

Re: [RT] My Flex journey.

"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 applic
