Preface

General

This tutorial lesson is part of a series of lessons dedicated to programming using Adobe Flex.

The material in these lessons is based on Flex version 3 and Flex version 4. A distinction between the two will usually be made in those situations wherethat distinction is important.

A previous lesson in this series titled XML - Namespaces - Flex 3 concentrated on teaching the XML concept of namespaces and illustrated the concept using a program written in Flex version 3.

Differences in namespaces between Flex 3 and Flex 4

Some of the first things that one is likely to notice when comparing Flex version 3 to Flex version 4 are some obvious differences in the use of namespaces. Therefore, this is an opportune place in the series tointroduce Flex version 4 and to explain some of the differences between the two versions.

General background information

Historical perspective

Adobe's Flex is an XML-based programming language that is used to create programs that execute in the Adobe Flash Player .

Teaching XML using Flex

In the Spring semester of 2010, I introduced Adobe's Flex version 3 and the Flex Builder 3 IDE into a course named Introduction to XML that I had been teaching for several years at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. The concept of usingFlex as the programming vehicle to teach XML was well received by the students.

During that same semester, Adobe released Flex version 4 and replaced Flex Builder 3 with a new IDE named Flash Builder 4 . The new IDE supports both Flex 3 and Flex 4.

A fortunate circumstance

This is a fortunate circumstance insofar as the concept of using Flex to teach XML is concerned. Flex 4 is similar to, but very different from, andsomewhat more complicated than Flex 3. The availability of the two versions of Flex makes it possible for the students to gain experience with two similar butdifferent flavors of XML, both supported by the same IDE and both supported by similarly formatted documentation.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
