If you've been keeping an eye on the Flex 2 Beta you'd have released that it actually looks like quite a tasty bit of kit but maybe have not know where to start with regards to learning it.
Well, over the last few days I have been tinkering with Beta 3, and working my way through the included “Getting Started with Flex” tutorials that appear on the start page.
If you've not done Flex development before, these are a fantastic way of picking up some of the basics, getting you into using data etc quite quickly. After working only a few lessons through I was able to start making my own data grids and getting data into them. Note that I have done some Flash development in the past so the notion of dataproviders etc isn't new, so if you've come fresh from a CF only background, you might want to look this stuff up a bit when you come across it.
In short, after learning the basics, I am now at the tinkering stage where I am trying out my own stuff, and learning by doing.
