Over the summer a friend and I programmed a Flex+AMFPHP application to manage kids at a summer camp. I worked on the AMFPHP Services side while he focused on the Flex side -- it worked very well, and introduced me to DTO, DAO's, and other "terms" used in the Flex and Java world.
If you want to get a leg up into something that pays a lot more and is a lot of fun to work with, dive into Flex and AMFPHP. I highly recommend it. I'll actually talk with my friend (Flex expert) and see if he can come out with all of us to discuss AMFPHP and Flex. --Will On Jan 29, 2008 9:05 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Quoting Scott Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > I've read about RIAs using AJAX.
