Michigan FlexCamp
Wed., Jul-23-08
On July 30th and 31st, the Michigan Flex Users Group will be hosting
<Michigan:FlexCamp> in Lansing, Michigan. This two day event is
designed to get you up to speed with the latest RIA technologies, such
as Flex, Flash and AIR.

The Michigan FlexCamp will host speakers from Adobe, Michigan State
University, Digital Primates, and many others. The Camp is a hands-on,
interactive, conference that is designed for Flex and AIR beginners, and
will take you through your first applications using the technology.

Adobe Flex is an open source framework that can be used to develop Rich
Internet Applications that you can deploy quickly and easily to just
about any application server, including Java, PHP, .NET, ColdFusion or
Ruby. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) that helps
web developers deliver their Flash, Flex, PDF or AJAX application to the
desktop, breaking free from the confines of the browser.

Registration and more information is available at
http://camp.TheFlexGroup.org. $25 for a single day pass, $40 for both
days.

Google, Yahoo! to Index Flex, Flash Apps
Sat., Jul-12-08

From Flex Developer's Journal:

Today, Adobe announced a collaboration with search industry leaders to dramatically improve search results of dynamic Web content and rich Internet applications (RIAs). Adobe is providing optimized Adobe Flash Player technology to Google and Yahoo! to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines. This will provide more relevant automatic search rankings of the millions of RIAs and other dynamic content that run in Adobe Flash Player. Moving forward, RIA developers and rich Web content producers won't need to amend existing and future content to make it searchable — they can be confident it can be found by users around the globe.

FlexTense code generator: http://www.flextense.net/FleXtenseWeb/Launch.aspx

The above link contains web utility called FlexTense which is web based code generator. FlexTense simply takes WSDL schema and generates all the classes necessary for Flex to access and retrieve data from any database via web service with no further coding on the flex level. Since FlexTense is xml based the web service layer can be written virtually on any programming language and framework.
