Yesterday, Safari Books Online sent me a link to download a short overview about the top 10 things you need to know about Flex. There are no copyrights in the document, so I guess it’s ok to spread the word!

From the content:

“Flex is getting a lot of buzz lately. A lot of people may be interested in using it
just because they’ve heard good things, but aren’t really sure if it fits in with
their current skills or their project needs. In this article I’ll discuss the top 10
things you need to know about Flex, whether you’re considering using it for
your personal site or for your business.”

1. Flex is Web Standards, Redefined
2. Flex is Flash (and then…)
3. Flex Just Works
4. Flex is Server Agnostic
5. Flex is the Look You Want
6. Flex is Light, and Fast
7. Flex is Accessible
8. Flex is SEO‐Compatible
9. Flex is Free, and Open
10. Flex is Easy to Learn

You can download the pdf from here.

Unfortunately I don’t know who the writer is, so it’s not possible to give the credits to someone more specific than Safari Books Online itself, but I can say that I definitively agree with the content.

Sincerely yours,
Roland
