Flexible Rails: Flex 3 on Rails 2

Overview

The Flexible Rails: Flex 3 on Rails 2 refcard provides an overview of Flex and Rails, how they can be used together and then building a simple Flex + Rails application using XML over HTTPService to have the Flex client talk to a RESTful Rails server. Since we’ll use RESTful Rails controllers, the Rails controller methods will also support the traditional HTML views. Features include Overview of Rails 2, Overview of Flex 3, Flex 3 and Rails 2 Together, Building a Flex + Rails Application, Hot Tips and more.
