Getting started with Flex

 Like many fellow CF developers I've deceided to get into Flex. I just started the "Getting started with Flex 2.0" that comes with the FlexBuilder yesterday. Well now I have an application that connect to a RSS feed from Matt Chotins blogg, it displays the headlines and post date in a data grid, displays the teaser text in a text area when the headline is clicked in the data grid, and has a button to read the full post over at the blog itself. And all that in 13 relatively short lines of code!!!

I'm sure you've already seen Damon Coopers post about the CF/FlexBuilder 2 App Gen Wizard, and the Captivate Demo, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, since this is totally mind blowing stuff.
