I am learning,exploring,researching adobe flex 3 for my future project. I am reading the book


The application development process
Flex application development normally follows through a standard range of steps:
1. Create the MXML application in Flex Builder 3 or a text editor.
2. Create the layout for the interface by adding one or more container components.
3. Create the interface by adding user interface controls to the containers.
4. Define a data model for the application.
5. Add a call to external content such as consuming a web service, connecting to an external file,
or requesting a remote Java object (Flex Data Services).
6. Add data bindings.
7. Add formatting to display the data.
8. Add validation to user input controls.
9. Write ActionScript to wire up the user interface.
10. Run or debug the application, or use the command-line compiler to create a SWF file.
11. Deploy the application.
You’ll see these steps as you start building applications later in the book.
