How to Build On-Demand Business Apps Using force.com and Flex - part 2

flex is using a virtual machine called "Mozilla Tamarin"

there is a free version of software for building flex applications

Air:
includes flash player, webkit, air api's (drag and drop, network detection, etc)
works on any platform the same way

demo: parleys.com
You can download these videos to an air desktop version, and watch them without an internet connection

How Flex works
mxml and ActionScript
mxml is optional, can be done all in actionScript
complies into a swf file, that gets put into a web server or air.

pointing out a toolkit adobe made to allow use of force.com (using the partner wsdl)
