Data-centric development is an exciting new Rapid Application Development (RAD) feature in Flash Builder 4 beta 2, which helps traditional web and novice Flex developers to quickly build rich data-centric Flex applications that fetch data from various back-ends including ColdFusion, PHP, BlazeDS, LiveCycle Data Services ES, web services, and HTTP services.
Because web services are such a popular mechanism for exchanging data between different applications and platforms on the Internet, Flash Builder 4 provides easy and efficient ways to import, explore, and use web services. Through its unified workflow wizards, Flash Builder 4 helps developers quickly build Rich Internet Applications that leverage existing corporate or public service infrastructures, including web services.
In this article, I will demonstrate these capabilities by showing you how to build an application (see Figure 1) that uses Zenfolio's web service to display photos.
