Great announcements from Adobe today: The Flex 3 Beta is available, Apollo gets a permanent name (Adobe AIR) and hardware acceleration of video. What a great way to start the week!
In the days before Flex 2 was released as beta, Ted Patrick teased some of the new features on his blog. With Flex 3, he repeated this and it’s been a blast to read his blog this week. Flex 3 features great enhancements in almost every area: components, file size, compilation time, refactoring, a real profiler, improved workflow, CSS design view, deep linking and back-button support, local caching of the Flex framework, Flex components for Flash CS3 – the list goes on. The final version of Flex 3 is set to be released in Q4 2007 and there will be two more public beta versions before the release. Keep in mind that since the Flex 3 framework will be Open Source now, you can even contribute to the development if there are features you think needs improving.
