Flex SDK Description

Highly productive, open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications. Flex SDK provides a highly productive, open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops and operating systems. Flex SDK provides a modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common design patterns suitable for developers from many backgrounds. Flex applications run in the ubiquitous Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.You can use the Flex SDK to create a wide range of highly interactive, expressive applications. For example, a data visualization application built in Flex can pull data from multiple back-end sources and display it visually. Business users can drill down into the data for deeper insight and even change the data and have it automatically updated on the back end. A product configuration application is able to help customers easily navigate the process of customizing and selecting products online.And a self-service application can guide customers through an address change or help employees complete an otherwise complicated multi-step benefits enrollment.NOTE: Flex SDK is licensed and distributed under the Mozilla Public License, version 1.1 (MPL).
