Adobe Flex 2

For some time now I've followed, with trepidation, the increasing hype around the Adobe Flex 2 framework and how it's going to save the unwashed masses from themselves while using the Web 2.0 (The Internet)

Adobe Flex 2 is at the forefront of building and producing Rich Internet Applications (RIA's) which bring desktop application capabilities to Internet browsers such as FireFox and Internet Explorer.

With a recent release to Flex 2.01, I find myself slowly gravitating towards a "hype" based mindset. Having had a dig under the hood, I have to admit, I'm impressed with what I've found. Coming from a PHP programming background normally I would baulk at relinquishing control to a glorified browser plug-in, but this time I'd be wrong. Adobe have done an excellent job of listening to it's user base and producing a product that may indeed just revolutionise the web applications as we know them.

With this in mind, I've committed myself to to bending my head around the Adobe Flex 2 framework and Actionscript 3 with it's newly structured Object Orientated slant. Wish me luck!
