Lynda.com- Free access to Flash Catalyst traning Videos

If you want to get to grips with Flash Catalyst be sure to checkout the link below - Lynda.com now has a free section of video tutorials on Flash Catalyst.

I have not personally gone through these but if they are anything like the scores of video tutorials on Flex, Drupal, etc that I been through - these should be awesome.

The Quest for a Flex Framework

I have been looking into frameworks for Flex recently - you will find tons of blog posts around the frameworks out there.

The most useful post I have found thusfar can be found at the Adobe Developer Connection site - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_framework.html

The article outlines the most popular frameworks available currently i.e.
- Cairngorm
- Mate
- PureMVC
- Swiz

Personally I am stuck between Swiz and Mate - I am going to go with Mate first though because it has more documentation then Swiz.

I will let you know what I think once I have given it a go.

The Flash Platform - some objective and subjective points

With the web now verging on its double decade since its public inception, it is important to note where we have come from, and - maybe more pertinent - where we're headed. The web has had many face-lifts in the past, many revisions, many tiresome periods of expansion and dormancy, but the web is - at present - going through some extreme phases of growth.
