The popularity of Flex has produced incredible demand for skilled RIA developers. I reported in May that the FlexJobs site has grown to 1000 subscribers with over 600 jobs posted.While the amount of valuable online Flex resources and blogs has grown, there is still a tremendous void of quality Flex training. One of the biggest areas in need, ironically, is right in Adobe's backyard, between San Jose and San Francisco. As more and more web 2.0 and tech companies, ranging from CNET to Google, have realized the power of Flex, the need for skilled Flex developers in Silicon Valley (a.k.a the San Francisco Bay Area) has grown enormously.
I am happy to a learn that two of the most well-respected developers in the Flex community will be offering a series of Flex and AIR training, right here in Silicon Valley. Established and certified instructor Mike Kollen is being joined by Flash/Flex/AIR expert and author Chuck Freedman for a 2-day specialized training session.
"For Those About to Code: Flex & AIR" will happen first during the weekend of July 19, 20. This fully hands-on, 2-day event aims to teach you how to code Flex and AIR applications, having you ready to code when you return to work on Monday. What's even more impressive than the talent of the instructors, is that the course will cost just $675. BELIEVE ME, this is a great deal to learn Flex & AIR over a weekend.
The course will max out at 50 and I am delighted to know that through the efforts of Mike and Chuck, that many more talented Flex and AIR developers will be building great apps on Adobe's platform.

Thanks for the great post, Ted! To all those interested in learning Flex & AIR, we'll see you on July 19, 20.
For your information: demand in Europe is still very very low... I get the impression that Adobe isn't doing enough to convince companies in Europe :(
Video it, put it on DVD, and sell it to the masses - there are those of us who are NOT in CA who are begging for somthing like this. :)
I hope this event does well...
...would love an East Coast event!
Ted, any word on when the Flex 3 Developer Exam will be coming out? Being able to attain some sort certification in Flex 3 would definitely increase the attraction of training.
Flex/AIR in two days? sounds like a scam to me :)
I'd have to agree with the comment prior to mine. It would be wise to Record the whole tutorial, and sell it. I can list many willing to purchase it as I type this.
