I recently took a course in Rich Internet Application development which focused on the snazzy new Adobe Flex 2 (now Flex 3) platform. This was an amazing course because Flex is being hyped up as the next big thing in RIA development because it runs in the highly pervasive Flash Player plugin (booyah silverlight!). The structure for the course was a rigorous 10week development session in which we would conceive, design, and develop a Flex application and integrate it with some type of stateful data storage.

As usual I wanted to develop something useful, and something that would allow me to integrate Flex with a technology that would be used in the real world- so I opted to integrate it with PHP and MYSQL. Even though this part of it wasn’t required, I felt it really made the experience that much more useful.

This was a project for my Design of Graphical User Interface course in Spring of 2007. I really like this project because it uses alot of dynamic animation and tweening as well as heavy XML-based data for the content making it very customizable. This was a 10week project and involved lots of process work from raw sketches all the way to wire frames and finally to the result. Everything can be found on the site created for the piece, in pdf format.
