Introduction to Adobe Flex Builder for PHP Developers
If you were listening to my talk last week at the Zend PHP Conference in San Jose, and were interested in Adobe Flex, here's how you can get started with Flex Builder and PHP.
1. Download Adobe Flex Builder. The trial is available for Windows, or for Mac.
2. Watch this episode of Flex TV, created by Ted Patrick. This is a great introduction to Flex Builder.
3. Download the PHP RIA SDK by Adobe. This SDK contains libraries and samples that help you develop Flex applications that connect to PHP backends. The SDK is actually an open source project that you can contribute to. The project is hosted at Google Code.
4. Join the PHP RIA SDK by Adobe mailing list at Google Groups. Participate in the group - ask questions, send feedback on the product etc...
5. Read articles on the Flex Developer Center, and in particular the PHP page of the Flex Developer Center.
6. Check out Flex.org, a great community site with many resources for Flex developers.

I just finished your intro to Flex and PHP article, and created an application with users and email addresses. You suggested making tutorial suggestions, so I'd like to do that. What I'd like to see is a good article on creating a Flex/PHP Todo list, but one that allows for sub-items, and uses drag and for tossing items into a completed bin.
Thanks for the articles! Keep up the good work.
