I am specifically kicked about the new Data Centric Development features (DCD) of Flash builder. Simple drag & drop – wizard work flows now makes connecting to a back end simpler than anything you have done before using Flex.

I am sure all of us would have seen the flex dashboard application (in case you haven’t, see it here )

With the Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta, A dashboard application which connects to a Google App Engine back end with interactive drill down can be built in 10 minutes (yeah, 10 minutes. Actually lesser if I am not talking )

Now, the interesting part – I have  two part video which demonstrates the building of this app using Flash builder with a few drag and drops and minimal coding. The completed app just has 100 lines of code (including line breaks). now, isn’t that cool?
