Mobile App Development & Tool

[MSVR msvr]

Hello,

This is my first post.

I'm a developer working on PhP and Java for 5+ years, with growing number of mobile apps and tools, I'm very curious to learn the technology and start building the apps.

Need your help to understand where should I start learning & building up the skills? I heard that Adobe Flex SDK allows us to build apps for all platforms (BB, Android etc)? How easy or complex is it?

Hello MSVR,

I have just created my first app with Flex 4.6 (ie: Flash Builder). I have no knowledge of PHP and very very little knowledge of JAVA. I started out with no knowledge of Actionscript.

Online documentation appears to be written by programmers and is therefore very technical as opposed to easy to understand (if that makes sense). I found it difficult to understand at times. The new Flex 4.6 documentation is less technical and has more examples to get the understanding. There are also a lot of sample code online from other developers.

If you use just the Flex SDK and not any specific platform SDK then you write once and deploy on BB Playbook, Android, and Apple. Soon you will be also able to deploy on BB phones when they update the new OS.

All in all I am happy with Flex and each day I learn a little more of it.

cheers,
