This five day course introduces developers to all the primary features of Flex they’ll need to know in order to build a fully functional, well architected front end for a Rich Internet Application (RIA). Students will also gain hands-on, practical experience connecting their Flex client applications to remote, dynamic data using LiveCycle Data Services. You will connect with remote data using web services and LiveCycle Data Services’ features allowing communication with a Java based server environment. In addition, skills will be learned how to manipulate and format the returned data.

Flex: Developing Rich Internet Client Applications provides experienced application developers with hands-on, practical experience using Flex. This three day course introduces developers to all the primary features of Flex they’ll need to know in order to build a fully functional, well architected front end for a Rich Internet Application (RIA).

In the 2-day Flex: Extending and Styling Components course, students will use their object-oriented skills to create custom classes that programmatically draw skins and extend the functionality of built-in Flex classes. Experienced Flex developers will have an opportunity to explore hands-on, practical code examples for creating drag-and-drop user interfaces that also incorporate user-triggered transitions and smart components that resize based on available space. Other learning objectives include creating popups, embedding fonts, implementing custom application look-and-feel and positioning stage- and mouse-aware elements.

Flex: Using ActionScript,begins with simple declarative statements and core syntax, and moving through control and data structures, by course completion you will have learned intermediate Object Oriented Programming, including static classes and interfaces.

Flex Data and Communications provides experienced application developers with hands-on, practical experience connecting their Flex front ends to remote, dynamic data using Flex Data Services. This two day course instructs developers how to connect with remote data using web services and Flex Data Services’ features allowing communication with a Java backend. In addition, skills will be learned how to manipulate and format the returned data.

By the end of Flex: Building Charting & Dashboard Applications , developers will be able to create interactive dashboards by leveraging the Flex framework and the Flex charting components. They will learn about using, formatting and styling Flex charts as well as creating interactive charts and dynamically controlling chart data. Developers will also have the opportunity to discuss conceptual topics for dashboard creation and usability. You should take this course if you are a Flex programmer who needs to provide data visualization in your Flex applications.

Introducing Cairngorm surveys the core concepts behind the Cairngorm RIA micro-architecture by re-factoring the application taught and built in the Flex 101: Rich Client Applications training course.
