Folks,
I came across a superb 20 part series on developing an Enterprise level RIA using Flex, LCDS and EJB 3.0, written by Tony Hillerson and posted on InsideRIA. This series explains, in a good depth, about RIA trends, using Flex in conjunction with other tools, to develop a lightweight RIA environment. A must read for every budding RIA developer out there. Even an experience nerd will get quite useful content. Read it
Cheers!!!
