Flex and the meaning of life
This is an advanced Adobe Flex training session that will dig very deep into the life of a Flex component. The detail will be mind numbing, but the knowledge will be career steroids. The goal here is to take you from Flex developer to Flex master.
Flex is an event driven programming model, everything (and I mean everything) happens due to an event. The life of a Flex component is defined by the sequence of steps that occur when you instantiate an object. As part of that life cycle, the Flex SDK automatically calls component methods, dispatches events, and manages children.
It is the knowledge and understanding of the life of a component that separates the men from the boys. So, who of you are men?!
