This year at MAX I will be presenting one of the hands on sessions. It is titled:
RA101H: Hands On: Building a Rich Internet Application with Flex 3 and PHP.
It is geared for people with no Flex experience and will be pretty basic overview of Flex 3 and connecting to PHP through HTTPService. The fun part is I will be giving the session 4 times over the course of the 3 days. If you are going to MAX feel free to come by join a session or say hi.

Check out the press release.
It is good to see Adobe Flex gaining ground a wide variety of markets.
A quote from Michele Turner:
“Adobe is excited to work with n2N to take cross-channel commerce to a new level,” said Michele Turner, vice president of product management and marketing, Platform Business Unit at Adobe. “With Flex and n2N, we are creating a scalable, high performance solution that is delivered on-demand in a software-as-a-service model.”

This is great news for Flex. It is cool to see the Flex developer tools being bundled with other development tools. This is not a one sided agreement though. Adobe will be making the WebLogic server available with LiveCycle ES as a single install. Not sure if that is the only installation for LiveCycle ES or just a special installer. Either way its good for Flex and LiveCycle DataServices. Here is a quote form the Adobe side,
“Our partnership with BEA builds on our commitment to the developer community with opportunities to extend and enhance our offerings and fuel the ecosystem of RIA development,” said David Wadhwani, vice president, Engineering, RIA Platform at Adobe. “This agreement brings together two great integrated tools and gives developers an unparalleled environment for creating dynamic and engaging RIAs.”
