A.3. Summary

This was a terse and introductory write-up on Flex 4, the new Flex framework. Being a brief write-up, it concentrated on getting you started, setting the context for the discussions and exposing you to the first bits of the new framework.

The write-up has two parts. The first of these two parts described the new features and the backward-compatibility capabilities of Flex 4. The second one illustrated a typical development workflow and walked through an elementary application.

This write-up is the icebreaker and the context setter. Now that you are ready to learn Flex 4, you may want to explore more about it online at http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Gumbo. Much of what you learned about BlazeDS is relevant to Flex 4.
