ArcGIS Server Flex API

Just got back from ESRI's Developer Summit in Palm Spring, where I presented the ArcGIS Server Flex API. You can download my presentation from here. This API is intended to be released post 9.3 and will be based on the REST protocol and is very closely modeled after the JavaScript API. In the presentation, I showcased how to build a map application and how to create dynamic and tiled layers. In addition, I added graphic layers with adjustable graphics and demonstrated how to subclass a GraphicLayer to create a GeoRSS layer.

Hi there,
I like your blog!
I wanted to ask, does flex know how to work with ArcGIS Server 9.2 as well?

The current API that I'm working on is for 9.3 - AWX (www.arcwebservices.com) flex API enables you to connect to a 9.2 using the SOAP endpoint - but has limited functionality :-( - This new API is taking advantage of all of the REST endpoint features, such as tasks, geoprocessing, dynamic and tiled map services :-)
