Flex Training
Adobe Flex 2 is a cross-platform development framework for creating rich Internet applications (RIAs). Flex enables you to create expressive, high-performance applications that run identically on all major browsers and operating systems.
Highlander has been involved with Flex since the beginning and was the first UK company authorised by Macromedia to offer Flex training courses. Our current curriculum offer a number of courses including:
Flex 3: Developing Rich Client Applications is a 3 day course which provides experienced application developers with hands-on, practical experience using Flex. This three day course introduces developers to all the primary features of Flex they'll need to know in order to build a fully functional, well architected front end for a Rich Internet Application (RIA), and is an ideal starting point for anybody moving into Flex.
Flex 3: Extending and Styling Components is a 2 day course which teaches delegates how to use their object-oriented skills to create custom classes that programmatically draw skins and extend the functionality of built-in Flex classes. Experienced Flex developers will have an opportunity to explore hands-on, practical code examples for creating drag-and-drop user interfaces that also incorporate user-triggered transitions and smart components that resize based on available space.
Flex 3: Building Dashboard Applications provides developers with the knowledge needed to use Flex 3 charts to create highly interactive dashboards for data visualisation. By the end of the course, developers will be able to create interactive dashboards by leveraging the Flex 3 framework and the Flex 3 charting components. They will learn about using, formatting and styling Flex 3 charts as well as creating interactive charts and dynamically controlling chart data. Developers will also have the opportunity to discuss conceptual topics for dashboard creation and usability. You should take this course if you are a Flex programmer who needs to provide data visualisation in your Flex applications.
All of these courses are available both as scheduled dates or at your own location.
