something, the first place you will want to visit is the Flex
Cookbook (http://www.adobe.com/go/flex_cookbook).
When you think you are ready and have something to contrib-
ute, you can add recipes to the Cookbook as well to give some-
thing back to the community.
The Flex Cookbook home page even offers an Eclipse plug-in
that will show you the most recent Cookbook entries in Flex
Builder.
Community Resources
Several Flex community resources are also available. One is the
Flex Support Forums (available at http://www.adobe.com/go/
flex_forums), where you can find user-to-user discussions re-
garding Flex. What’s more, the Flex team monitors the forums
to help you out when you get into a jam.
Also, it’s a good idea to join a local Flex user group. Flex user
groups are located all over the world and are cataloged at http://
flex.org/community/. Meanwhile, a Flex “Camp”—which is an
informal gathering of Flex enthusiasts and Adobe folks who
get together to try to build real Flex applications—should be
high on your list of things to attend. You can find out when a
Flex Camp is coming to your town by visiting the Flex.org
Camp page (http://flex.org/camp/). There are also conferences,
such as the 360|Flex conference (http://www.360conferen
ces.com/360flex/), to attend if you are in the area.
If you want to find a job in which you can put your knowledge
of Flex to good use, the Flex.org (http://flex.org) site also has
information on the current Flex job market.
Books
Besides this book, lots of books on Flex 3 and ActionScript 3
are currently available. One that I strongly recommend is Flex
3 Cookbook. Its sister publication, ActionScript 3 Cookbook, is
