Adobe AIR / Flex

[Week 16]

Been playing around with Adobe AIR and Flex the past week. I'm trying to find effective GUI libraries for the project. Flex is very nice and quite powerful. As with all new things there is a little learning curve though! I'm still getting used to the components. I have learned that it may not be possible to integrate an Adobe AIR application with Java unless I used web services, ie. JSPs, tomcat server etc. 

Therefore this week I'll start researching Swing/AWT libraries for this project. They might not be as easy on the eyes but may be better to stay in familiar ground for now until I get the basics working.
