We?ve crafted a special public training program that is specifically aimed at Java developers with no or limited experience in developing enterprise-grade J2EE application with Adobe Flex front end.

?Real-world Flex for Java programmers? is an intensive, five-day hands-on training program for Web developers who need to create and integrate rich Internet clients written in Adobe Flex with enterprise J2EE applications. This is one of a kind hands-on workshop because during this week attendees will

* create two fully functional Flex/Java applications,
* learn how to properly set up a Java/Flex enterprise project
* start using Flex Eclipse plugins that will turn your Java project into a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment
* start working on their projects in the class under the guidance of two experts and certified Adobe Flex instructors Yakov Fain and Dr. Victor Rasputnis, co-authors of the book RIA with Adobe Flex and Java .

Cool event Yakov! I'm sure that this would be an extremely useful 5 days for anyone wanting to learn Flex.

Bruce Eckel is hosting a similar event for two days in Crested Butte, CO on August 13-14:

If you are interested in learning Flex and AIR, definitely go to one (or both) of these events!

It's hot, but not as hot as Java EE though. While our course costs about $2000 (includes a bunch of free software), Sun charges $3000 for a week of Java EE training http://www.sun.com/training/catalog/courses/FJ-310-EE5.xml

It's also less expensive than Spring Framework training:

Hibernate training costs $2300 for four days:

There is a Wall Street term called P/E or price per earning ratio. As of today, earnings of Java programmers are 20-30% higher if they also have Flex skills. I know this first hand cause we are hiring people with these skills, which are not easy to find. P/E for Java+Flex skills is more favorable today than P/E for Java, which means that ROI in Flex training is higher.
