Flex Examples
http://blog.flexexamples.com/

Peter deHaan currently works for Adobe on the Flex SDK QA team. He writes so many small tutorials that it’s hard to even keep up

with this man on any level. I always go to this site if I am in need of a small specific item.



Dzone
http://www.dzone.com/links/index.html

Dzone is a great community based site for sharing developer links. The site is setup in a similar fashion as popular sites such as Digg or

Reddit. The great thing is that this site has as many tutorials linked on it as anywhere else on the web.



Adobe Flex Developer Center and Cookbook
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/

The Adobe Developer Center is great resource for complete tutorials and articles on how to get started with Flex or any of the other

Adobe products. The other Adobe resource is the Cookbook which is built off of community code snippets that solve small programming

tasks.



Doug McCune
http://dougmccune.com/blog/

Doug is a pretty big name in the Flex community (he gives presentations all over the country at Flex events), most of the items you

are going to find on his site are examples of cool applications built using Flex. These examples usually include the source code. I would

not strictly call them tutorials, but all the source and examples make it a great place to learn Flexing techniques.



Google
http://www.google.com

Sounds cliche but Google is the best single source for finding Flex tutorials and information. Simply search for anything your looking for

(like “flex tutorials”), Google is also the best way find anything in the Flex documentation. Usually I will search for something like “flex

3 combobox” or similar.


The above list is strictly where I go to find and research Flex tutorials. I felt that it would really be a disservice to fail to mention some

of the the other great Flex resources out there. The people and places below are some of the best Flex assets out on the web; be

sure to take advantage of these.

Franto.com Flash Blog
http://www.franto.com/blog2/

This blog is written by Frantisek Kormanak (Franto) and has great deal of posts on how to program in Flex and in Flash. I would say

that most of his posts are informational and include great examples.



Flex.org
http://flex.org/

Flex.org is the main community site for Flex developers, which includes a showcase and resources for everything from PHP to .Net.





Ryan Stewart

technologies that catch his fancy. You can also check out his ZDNet blog here.

works with the Adobe Flex core team in San Francisco.

community and is always trying to architect a new solutions for common issues.
