Flex Training

Adobe Flex 4 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 (now Adobe) to offer Flex training courses. Our Flex courses are all available for delivery at your own location, and are targeted at groups of between 3 and 10 delegates. Our current Flex curriculum includes:
