Flex and Flex Builder 3

Abstract

When I started doing Java programming, a typical workflow would have me typing code in a very low-level text editor, such as Notepad, and then switching to the command prompt (then called the DOS prompt) where I would have to enter a cryptic string of compiler commands. Finally, if all went well, I would then need to enter another command to run the program. However, if there was a mistake in the code somewhere, the compiler would return an error message that defied understanding by deities.
