For the past 6+ months I have been working full-time at Enterra Solutions, LLC as a Senior Software Developer. My primary role in the organization is designing the architecture of Rich Internet Applications utilizing Flex 1.5 and ActionScript 2.0. After many months of now stop Flex Development I must say that Flex is an awesome platform. I feel completely comfortable in the Flex IDE and I even prefer building applications in Flex these days. I prefer building websites in Flash but as far as serious application development I would choose Flex over Flash hands down.

My true passion is Object Oriented Programming in ActionScript and I see Flex as one more tool for outputting Flash content. Enterra Solutions is partners with Adobe so I have a foot in the door as far as new releases and developments pertaining to Flex, Flash and ActionScript. I spend most of my spare time building prototype applications in FLEX 2.0 / ActionScript 3.0 and I love it. I know that there are many Flash Developers who are not familiar with the Flex IDE and there is a very good transitional breeze seminar presented by Phil Heinz that was posted on the macromedia users group last month. This is a good start for developers looking to add Flex to there arsenal of Flash Platform tools.
