The second tutorial of the day, “Using Adobe Flex with Rails ,” was very cool. Headed up by Aslak Hellesoy and B?ɬ?rre Wessel, the tutorial showed how easy it is to build a beautiful front-end to a RESTful Rails application. At ADS we are looking into using Flex to remove some of the headaches that comes with implementing AJAXY applications that work in every browser we are asked to support. Most of this great tutorial was code. You can grab it off of Google Code.
