Flexible Rails: A book on using Flex with Rails. 2

Posted by Daniel Wanja Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:31:08 GMT

As many of you know I really enjoy using Flex with Rails. So I finally picked-up a copy of FlexibleRails which is written by Peter Armstrong and started browsing through it last week-end. For anyone out there trying to enrich their application with some Flex or even writing the whole UI in Flex, check out this book as it’s a good starting point and Peter addresses many of the aspects that you will be faced with. Peter goes through several iterations of creating an application and introduces the reader to using Flex against a RESTful Rails application, he refactors the application to Cairngorm, uses AMF. So congratulations Peter of getting this done!

    I might need to take a look at this book. I’m building a little demo app using Rails with Flex and AIR’s SQLite capabilities for my talk at FITC this year. Hopefully I finish in time ;)

    I have been trying out rails tutorials myself. I hope this would help me work better.
