Lets dive!!

I tried to download adobe flex trial version twice, but because of slow net connection and it also get disconnected amid the downloading, I could not.
I have got a t-shirt and a small pocket book recently which has this flex logo on it. I want to wear the t-shirt and also want to make something out of what I read in that book, soon I will. Today was the second and last day of techmart2009, the technical festival of my college, as i came home and checked my mails, i saw some mail from adobe, I joined its online community, hence they sent some mail regarding some information. I logged in through my account and checked few things, In between I got to see the http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/careeropp/fma/dayinthelife
Amazing!! really amazing!!
I started reading few online things about adobe. which in turn increased my curiosity like anything.
then I thought, let us keep the track of learning, hence i created the blog.
In this blog i m planning that i will write whatever i will learn. :)

I checked out few sites.
1. www.sliderocket.com
2. http://aviary.com/home
3. https://buzzword.acrobat.com/#o

and the very first thing that I noticed is-
"almost every site was made using gray, black, red and white colors only!! :) "

I never saw or used adobe flash, seems something used to adjust photos or make animations.

They say some Action script- the language of flash, to give the interactivity to your application.

Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005. "why?? did they sell macromedia?? "

I also got to know that Flex is a framework, i.e. it facilitates the job of organizing your project.

The applications you make using Flex are cross platform, they work without any changes on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, both in the browser and often on the desktop (for this they use some AIR technology of adobe itself :), wow what a chain of products. ) They worked on the same concept as Tata :)

Got to know that some application called "pownce" http://pownce.com/
has got closed on 15 dec 2008. this application used to sit on the desktop using Adobe's AIR technology.

check out http://desktop.ebay.com/ example of an online application using AIR technology (well, its the first application of flex i saw till now "not in black" :D )

Action script is a scripting language based on ECMA language, and ECMA sript is a scripting language standardized by ECMA international in ECMA-262 specification.

They warn that ECMA should not be confused with Javascript and Jscript.
