I’ve started to be interested in Flex, recently. This interest piqued when I saw some of the rates that were being offered for Flex developers in this area, so I suppose my interest is completely mercenary and not particularly motivated by an interest in the technology, per se. I think that I’m okay with that.
That said, it does look interesting. And, naturally, some people are using Flex front-ends for Rails applications: one good resource in particular looks to be http://flexonrails.net/.
Also interesting is Project Sprouts, which is a gem and seems to make good use of ruby and rake to automate some aspects of ActionScript, AIR, and Flex development. I’ve had no time (yet) to give it a test drive, so this is nothing more than a pointer: if it sounds interesting, give it a look.
Since I’m thinking about ActionScript, this is as good a time as any to revisit the venerable ActionScript Jabberwocky. Enjoy.
