Hello! Flex 4 eBook for free
Friendly and fun.
Look inside
Flex should be as easy to learn as it is to use. And with Hello! Flex 4, it is! This illustrated tutorial builds your know-how from the first Hello World example up to a practitioner level using an entertaining style that makes learning a breeze. You'll learn to make easy-to-use interfaces, eye-catching animations, and powerful data-driven features.
about the book
Hello! Flex 4 progresses through 26 self-contained examples selected so you can progressively master Flex. They vary from small one-page apps, to a 3D rotating haiku, to a Connect Four-like game. And in the last chapter you'll learn to build a full Flex application called SocialStalkr'a mashup that lets you follow your friends by showing their tweets on a Yahoo map.
what's inside
- Create engaging animations and transitions
- Handle user input
- Access and display data
- Communicate with the server
- Use open-source components
