If you are working with Flex 2.0 on OSX and would prefer to use Textmate instead of the Flex Builder Beta, Daniel Parnell has created a Flex 2 bundle that automates the build process and a few auto-complete features.

I am currently working on a presentation that is aimed at convincing a client group that Flex/Flash is the correct technology platform for one of their upcoming projects. I have a collection of my own ideas, but I was wondering if anyone could point me to some good and convincing support materials (other than Flash penetration numbers)? Thanks in advance!

I know that Flex ships with a comprehensive set of PDF documents but call me old fashioned - I like my books in print. I find them easier to read while sitting on my back deck, and hand references to have on my desk. A visit to the Adobe store show Flex 1.5 docs available - but nothing for Flex 2.0. Sure they are a bit expensive, but we’re about to begin a project with a six figure budget, so $130 is really small change. I know a few Adobe people read this blog so if they could shed any light on the availablitiy of printed docs, that would be appreciated.

On a related note, we’re more than likely about to choose Flex over AJAX to create a relatively complex RIA that models stormwater runoff. The tool wil help civil engineers, municipal planners and developers minimize the amount of rainfall runoff on developments. I have spent a couple of weeks evaluating Flex 2.0 and it is really a fantastic technology/tool/framework. I am really enjoying my time spent with Flex. If you haven’t played with Flex yet I would strongly reccommend that you take a look.
