It sounds like there is a lot of buzz around Flex and the Salesforce’s Apex Developer Platform. James Ward of Flex Evangelist fame has been at the Salesforce Developer Conference in Santa Clara this week and he said there were some great Salesforce applications and that his session had about 250 people. I also heard the Birds of a Feather for Flex and Apollo was really crowded.

The Flex Toolkit for Apex seems to be a huge hit. Salesforce is such a giant player and they’ve built a rock solid back end. As James mentioned, with Flex and Apollo people are able to build equally powerful front ends for what ends up being a full picture. James has a screenshot of an Apollo application built on top of Salesforce and you can download the application over at his blog.

It looks like we’re going to have some great case studies and examples of how RIAs can enhance something like Salesforce by brining a better user experience.
