Initially Flex was developed by Macromedia in 2004 and later Adobe Systems has acquired Macromedia in 2005 and re-branded as Adobe Flex. The latest version of Flex SDK 3.5 is available freely under Mozilla Public License. This software can be downloaded from here.

Web 2.0 Technologies and Flex
As we know the constant thing in this world is the “Change”. As day passes new sophisticated technologies will be bring in with creative ideas which involves less effort. Web2.0 is such a kind of advancement to the present-day technologies in the internet world. In my view web 2.0 is nothing but the more interactive web with rich internet application and social networking. Considering this view the web 2.0 is supported by many programming languages and technologies.
Like what we see nowadays getting popular Adobe Flex, JavaFX, Ajax etc…
Earlier the web pages were very static in nature which involves client-server communication. For suppose to update a field in the web page the request has to go all the way to server and the response has to be published in a new page. But with the usage of advanced technologies like Ajax the whole page need not to be really refreshed or reloaded. Only the part of the page will be refreshed.
Adding to this the Rich Internet Application, i believe Adobe Flex really mean it. Adobe has developed a rich programming language Flex (MXML, ActionScript) which takes less code and gives more output. It’s just opposite to Java which actually take more code to generate the same output as Flex but not as good as Flex visuals.Adobe has taken the advantages of XML and came up with MXML to build the User Interfaces. Basically MXML is used not only to layout the components but also bind the variables to components to update the data into the components whenever any update happens to the variable. This really saves lots of coding and is one of the important feature of Flex.
