As interest in the Flex development platform grows, the industry is responding with additional tools support, giving developers options beyond the Adobe Flex Builder IDE.We’ve got great news for those of you who were waiting for an easier way to create rich Internet applications with Adobe Flex using IntelliJ IDEA.BEA’s Workshop Studio IDE has a Flex bundle option to allow developers to build Flex applications in the same environment as their JEE applications. James Ward’s recent article introduces using this tool with the recently released BlazeDS:
Many advanced features are supported by the upcoming version 7.0.3 that is already available through the Early Access Program (EAP):
- Smart code completion for MXML and AS files, with cross-resolution of code symbols between them, even inside of mx:Script blocks and attribute values
- Automatic code formatting, highlighting and styling
- On-the-fly code validation with instant quick-fixes
- Code inspections to hunt performance bottlenecks, bad code practices and other problems
- Rich set refactorings
For developers already using BEA Workshop Studio, the new Flex bundle makes it easy to build RIAs in the same IDE used to build the business logic of an application. For developers already using Flex Builder, the Flex bundle for BEA Workshop Studio adds sophisticated functionality for building and debugging the Java-based back-end code for an application.For those looking for a powerful ActionScript 3 editor (the programming language for the Flash Player), FDT offers yet another option. Matthew Keefe offers a detailed review of the Eclipse plugin:
For a long time now Adobe’s Flex IDE has been the only tool for developing ActionScript 3 applications. Now there is an alternative in the form of PowerFlasher’s FDT 3.0 .Flex does appear to be a maturing platform with third-party vendors working to offer tools support for the platform and the Flex 3 release coming in the very near future.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
