Write Your Flex 2 Apps for FREE!!!!!!
Its true, even you can have it now. Announced today over on Mark Anders blog the Flex 2 Framework will be available for FREE. And not just during the beta. The Flex 2 Framework includes the framework files and the compiler, and provides everything you need to write Flex 2 applications.
Not to be missled however. Flex Builder 2 is not part of the free products. Flex builder 2 is a powerful IDE and greatly eases the development process. And for companies that are making a living on Flex projects, it is well worth the investment. The price point for this is still set at under $1000. Which puts it right on par with the existing Flash MX IDE.
Adobe is commited to helping expand the flash market, and this is a wonderful treat for us developers. So make sure you grab the new downloads and start developing you apps of tommorrow today :)

I’m excited about the free portions of Flex as well, but I’m wondering if they will need their own server which is a hidden cost. The minimum requirements are pretty steep. (although not without really cool benefit)

Hey Dan,
Well there are really 2 seperate products now that used to be 1. In Flex 1.5 there was really only a server component. You uploaded your mxml files to a server and it turned them into swf files on the fly.
In Flex 2, you have other choices. :) The free sdk allows you to write your mxml files with any text editor and then compile them on your local computer. So you then have a swf file you can deploy to any webserver you like. And it really is free. Then there are the Flex Enterprise Services, which are a seperate product that add funcionality to your proccess. And it will require a j2ee server. However there are free versions of those around as well. You dont have to use jrun. It has been announced that there will be a free version of FES2 as well. This will be limited by the number of concurrent connections as well as limited to 1 server install(no clustering).
Hope that helps clear anything up for you. Talk to you soon.
