CF Developers Take Notice of Flex Beta 2
I know there are alot of CF’ers who are excited about the opportunities that flex provides. However if the buzz in my inbox and on my IM is any indicator Beta 2 is really taking off.
The last couple days I have really enjoyed getting to share the joys and troubles of flex with alot of developers. I think its great how many people are getting involved and investing in this new platform.
If you are just getting into flex and want to share your joys or your troubles 
feel free to drop me a line or comment here.

I’ve been really impressed with what you’ve put together Simeon. It’s awesome to see you leading the CF community into working with Flex 2. Keep up the good work :).
Im lucky enough to be able to be playing with it at work because it is almost a shoe in that we will be using it when it comes out. We are very very excited about it, because of the very broad range of opportunities that it will afford us that we cant do right now, not to mention the speed at which you can develop very nice interfaces in it.
I tried to send you an IM this morning but I think I may have gotten your bot account and not your real gmail account…
Still trying to get my feet underneath me on this FDS stuff…
oh, I also wanted to say that I would be nice to find or set up a good email listserv or forum for flex and cf discussions for all of us to get into and be able to share ideas and problems back and forth. Ray Camden had set one up when the alpha came out, but there is virtually no traffic on it, im thinking I may be the only one in it…
Check out the flexcoders list on yahoo. It hast the most traffic I’ve found anywhere regarding Flex. You will have to wade through a bit of 1.5 traffic there (some people actually have apps running on that platform).
It’s been around for quite some time with participation from some people that actually know what they are doing.
Personally, I don’t care for the Yahoo group platform, so I created a Google group @ http://groups.google.com/group/FlexWorks and promptly did nothing with it. You’re welcome to post there all you want, but you’d be participant #3, I think.
Lastly, there are the Labs forums on the Macromedia site, but they seem to periodically loose the bulk of their messages. I think it might have something to do with the product being in beta. I doubt that Google will discard any of their message data.
