Over the past few years, the now open source Adobe Flex Framework has been adopted by the Java community as the preferred framework for Java RIAs using Flash for the presentation layer. Flex helps Java developers to build and maintain expressive web/desktop applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems.

I spent the last 7 month nightly writing Beginning Java and Flex describing new, simpler, and faster ways to develop enterprise RIAs. This book is not only for Java or Flex developers, but also for all web developers who want to increase their productivity and the quality of their development.

Flex and Java are becoming very popular for both business and interactive applications and we think that have this new skills in your cv can open new well paid job opportunities.
