CREW

Yesterday I gave a presentation on “Developing Rich Internet Applications with Flex 2″ to a handful of developers at ILRT. Flex is a a framework for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that are delivered through a Flash Player. The SDK provides compilers, debugger and a rich collection of ActionScript 3.0 components for user interface controls, layout, data models and communication.

You can see a flash version of the presentation below. Click the presentation to move to the next slide. There are also links to examples embedded in the presentation that are click-able.

There is also a PDF Version available.

I’m interested in using Flex for components of the CREW web application – for example, a photo viewer for snaps taken at a conference. Also, the video player used by CREW (created by Andrew Rowley) is written with ActionScript 2.0; it would be an interesting exercise to port the code to ActionScript 3.0 and take advantage of the Flex framework … well, interesting to me.
