This is a good summary. Flex is a "presentation server." You can
think of Flex as a rich version of HTML with a huge amount of
functionality and flexibility. Instead of generating an interface
using HTML and ColdFusion, JSP, ASP, PHP, etc., you use MXML to
generate Flash, then "wire" that interface to web services, which can
be implemented in any language.
It's a wild paradigm.
