Simply put, this session is about putting the generation of Flex applications in the hands of the everyday user. Using a set of core Adobe technologies including Dreamweaver, Flex-Ajax Bridge (FABridge), and Flex, we will walk through the development of a Flex templating scheme. Leveraging the power of Dreamweaver templates, we will provide hooks into the rich experiences that Flex offers, ultimately producing a product the end user can implement without knowledge of JavaScript or Flex.

Enterprise databases, XML, and web services have long been the most popular choice of data providers for numerous applications. However, any resource of structured data may serve as a valid choice too. This session will demonstrate some techniques you can use to breathe new life into your Dreamweaver templates by reinventing them as data sources. We'll work through examples on how to access and use Dreamweaver template data in various client-side implementations such as AJAX, the FABridge, and Flex and in server-side implementations through ColdFusion components.
