The presentation is geared to the techie with some UI-building experience but with little or no knowledge of Flex or FlexBuilder.

Although there are some high-level introductory/overview slides up front, the bulk of the presentation is a build-it-from-scratch session that shows how to use FlexBuilder to put together a simple Flex app (the obligatory Twitter client).  It also shows how to work with a library project, and then goes on to create an AIR application using a shared component.  Towards the end, I’m firing up FlexMonkey to show how to test the Flex app we built and how to generate the scripts and AS3 code needed to integrate those tests in a CI build.

The slides are here. There are not that many, but there are some useful links on the last slide.

The Flex projects built during the presentation are here.
