Adobe Flash Builder is a powerful tool for building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that are portable across mobile, web and desktop. Combined with the web services capabilities of the Axeda Platform, you have an IDE optimally suited to building enterprise-class connected applications.
This multi-part tutorial comes from a hands-on workshop session and guides you through the installation and setup of your development environment. You can start and stop this tutorial as you go and weave in the sample code as it applies to your use and environment. We've broken this tutorial into two parts:
Part-1 of 2: Simple Data Access
The first demo of the Flash Builder series showcases the Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 IDE, with its high level approach to connecting to data sources and to building a clean front end. Watch this segment for an introduction to simple data access in a Flash application.
Concepts include: Project setup, design, data services, return types, data binding, states, and alarms.
Part-2 of 2: Mobile Development
In light of the increasing competition for web traffic, a mobile app for business can no longer be viewed as optional. While Part 1 of the Flash Builder series introduces simple data access in a Flash application, Part-2 illustrates how Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and the Axeda Platform make it easy to build an application that's accessible across a wide range of mobile platforms.
Concepts include: Project setup, design, emulator use, data services, return types, and data binding.
