Beginner Series - This is our second pass through the series. Hopefully this series will be smoother and better than the series I, but sill have the same general topics.

Session 1: Just the Basics - Flex Builder, MXML, ActionScript and basic programming concepts. This session is good for those coming to Flex from HTML, CF or with no programming skills. Java Developers and Eclipse users may find this session too basic and boring.
