Pro Flex on Spring is the first book covering the use of the Spring Framework and integrating the Flex Framework so that enterprise Java developers can now add a Rich Internet Application front end to their “back-end”. Flex on Spring completes the Spring Framework, and makes it arguably the most complete, top-down, application development stack available to Java developers.

With Flex, Spring can be a more viable “out of the box” comprehensive Java development framework and tooling solution.

This review is from: Pro Flex on Spring (Kindle Edition)

While the contents is interesting the code samples are for the most part wrong, you can type exactly what's on the book and will get tons of compilation errors; if you try to follow the book as a tutorial you will end up spending a lot of time figuring out what's wrong with the code in the book (specially if you are a flex beginner like me)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Practical, and Interesting, June 1, 2009

This review is from: Pro Flex on Spring (Expert's Voice in Web Development) (Paperback)

This is an excellent book. There is lots of technical information available separately on Flex and Spring, but I really like how this book is all about real world projects built with Flex/Spring, providing practical advice and examples.

It has plenty of "best practice" and architecture style information based on the authors in-depth experience with Flex and Spring. I am using Flex and Grails as well, and this book is helpful for this combination as well given that Grails is built on Spring.

Overall, Pro Flex on Spring is an enjoyable and very valuable book which I'm glad I purchased.
