This is very cool, and timely since my IT director has decided to learn Flex and CF having not done any development in awhile. Any chance of getting a CF in a Week?

You don't need videos to pick up CF in a week! ;)

Lynda.com has pretty good CF videos:

And then there's John Farrar's book along with, of course, the WACK books.

Rachel, good idea, sounds like a job for our CF evangelist! ;-)

i really don't get the point of flex. it sounds great but the end is going to be just like INTEL's RDRAM; sounded powerful but couldn't do much.

Any idea when will the next 2 days be posted?

@adam - *puzzled look* What?

@clint - flex is balloon. other web technologies grow much much much faster. today flex sounds good but tomorrow flex is a balloon without air... flash silverlight is best for media.

largest .com's don't seem investing any money in flash based technologies. even yahoo maps dumped flex to ajax.if flex had been appeared before AJAX came out I could give a change but now I don't see a point. it is great product with no future..... it just gives developers headache:)

Ajax is the future? Plueeze. Breaks every time there is a browser change. Memory leaks. And the GUI at the end is inferior. Flex is harder to learn but it is worth the pain. I won't even go into the advantages of LiveCycle and BlazeDS.

I use Ajax for quick and dirty, or for making unique widgets - but not for major clients. At least not for complex intranet apps.

There are still only three days of content there. Ben, are you able to give us any idea when the remainder is likely to be available?

# Posted By Graham | 9/2/08 6:55 AM

Hi Graham, Henry,

We hope to complete the remaining two days by September 15th. We have some videos that we will get up this week but the training will only be complete by end of next week.

Thanks for your patience.
