Free Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional for Education

Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional

Flex is a highly productive, free open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. While Flex applications can be built using only the free open source framework, developers can use Adobe® Flex® Builder™ software to dramatically accelerate development.

If you want to know more about Flex, you may visit its website flex.org. I won’t tell you about flex. I just wanna share my experience. As you read before, you may develop Flex application using only the free open source framework. In frankly speaking, you should work hard to develop it from the scratch. If you want the easier way, you need to use Adobe Flex Builder. The problem is, you should pay to use it. Of course, for a great software, we need to pay. It doesn’t matter if you are a software house or professional that make money from developing application using that software. But if you are a student that need to learn Flex? A student doesn’t make money but only need to learn.

For student, don’t worry. Adobe is very kind to student and faculty. They give Adobe Flex Builder for free. It sounds great doesn’t it? Yes. It’s very great! And I’m one of the lucky guy who get the Adobe Flex Builder for free.
