In the beginning... all was dark...

I thought about calling this blog "Yet Another Flex Blog", but my left brain talked my right brain out of it at the last minute.

Now that my blogging opportunities have opened up somewhat, I can finally start blogging the bits and peices that I've picked up over the last few years. Rather than splattering them all over Flex Coders whenever I get the chance.

Things I plan on covering over the first few months (chances are... years).

Setting up a java back end to use with Flex (could be re-titled, "Why not to use LCDS", I suppose)
Flex validators, why they suck, and how we can make them much better.
Novel ways to reduce your data centre's bandwidth using AIR 2.0 (Peer to Peer swarms aren't just for stealing music you know!).
Pushing workflows into all the tiers (ESBs are too heavyweight for client side development, lets come up with something a bit lighter, and less boring).
Frameworks, light is better yes?
Bits and pieces from my favourite Flex hobby, making a fully fledged generic forms and reporting application.
