Foundation Flex for Designers (Foundation) (Paperback)

Flex is the technology for creating cutting edge web applications, both
in terms of functionality and design-it is easy to put together an
application that works and looks great. But what if you want to
customize the look and feel of your application, so that it doesn't look
like every other Flex application out there? That's not quite as simple
a proposition. However, help is at hand with this book. Foundation Flex
for Designers is a dream come true for any designer working on
customizing the look and feel of Flex applications. It takes you through
how to customize style and layouts using CSS, how to bring design assets
into Flex from applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks,
and Flash, how to spice up your design work with some handy ActionScript
3.0 techniques, and even a look forward to designing hybrid desktop/web
applications with Flex and AIR. It culminates with several
design-oriented case studies, including a video picker application,
picture gallery, customer service site, and more.
