Flex 2 tutorials?
So i've decided to jump into Flex 2 now, as i'm sure a few of you might of with the reduced price plan in place :o)
Anyway i've been looking around and apart from the official offering for help, there doesn't seem much external sources for reference? This is probably where its been an enterprise product only. So i was just wondering, where is everyone going to leanr Flex?

I second CFlex and recommend it in virtually every Flex presentation I give (hundreds per year). Another one of my personal favorites is FlexAuthority.com, which has sadly been quiet for a while. If you stop by, tell Jeff that Kevin sent you (smile).
There are numerous Adobe employees who blog about Flex which is inline with their roles - Matt Chotin (Flex engineer), Peter Ent (Flex support), Christophe Coenraets (product evangelist), myself (Flex technical sales) and others. Iteration::Two was acquired by Macromedia (now Adobe) not too long ago, and they have an excellent blog as well as the open source software Cairngorm (framework) and FlexUnit (unit testing). All of these can be found by searching MXNA and/or your favorite search engine.
Finally, it's important to note that at the core of the Flex Framework 2 is the ground work set by Flex 1.x. Much of the existing content will still go a long ways towards pointing you in the right direction in the Flex 2 documentation.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

My battles learning it are documented here (as Kevin said, 1.5 & 2 are a lot alike; it's actually the ActionScript that's the only really different part which is a good thing):

Hi,
We are actively working on developing Flex 2 training curriculum. Matt Boles, Jeff Tapper and myself are also writing a new book that will be available close to product release.
