My friend and mentor, Adam Flater, has announced that the Merapi framework, which allows for a bridge between Java and Adobe AIR, has gone live as of Monday, July 14. This project has been a long time in the making for Adam and his collaborator, David Meeker of Roundarch in Chicago.
More and more as I continue to study Flex, I see experts in the field tout the importance of learning the framework. This may or may not seem obvious, but the fact remains that a beginning coder, (or a more experienced one at that) can end up coding themselves into a corner, so to speak, if they don't have a thorough understanding of the framework they're working with, be it Flex, Merapi, Cairngorm, or anything else.
For a nice presentation on the importance of understanding frameworks, check out David and Rhazes Spell's talk at the Chicago Flex and Adobe AIR User's Group in early June.
