Flex Blogs!
Where the heck have I been?
When I was assigned my first flash project and given a flash MX book to get me up to speed there was not much help to be found on the web. Sure there was a site here and there with a little actionscript but no real meat to chomp down on. I spent many hours researching the web when I would get stuck and there was absolutely no help to be found. As time passed my team increased from 1 to 4 when we were able to find and add one great developer after another. That was great because I finally had other knowledgeable developers to work with and wouldn't have to worry about that one bug and the fast approaching deadline that had seemed to always pop up.
About 3 months ago a new developer joined the company and was nice enough to introduce me to Flex Blogs by telling me about Doug McCune's flexlib, I never new that they even existed and I have found myself to be a manual web crawler as I try to cram the past year or so into my brain. I have listed a few below and will be adding more as I think of them. If there are any that you feel are valuable please feel free to post a link in the comments section.
Doug McCune - FlexLib, open source Flex components.
The Flex Show - podcasts about FLEX!
Ted on Flex - it's Ted on Flex.
David Tucker - Some great cairngorm tutorial videos.
OC Flex - Orange County's Flex User Group.
