Adobe Stimulus Plan: Free Flex Builder
April 9th, 2009 by ryanstewart
I’m happy to see OSNews, Download Squad, and Webmonkey pick up the fact that we’re giving away a free license to Flex Builder for developers that have been hit by the economy’s downturn.
It’s a great way for developers looking to branch out to learn something new. As James noted, the job market for Flex is doing very well and it’s a fun technology to get to know. So head to https://freeriatools.adobe.com/learnflex/ to get your copy of Flex Builder. We also have some free offers for anyone in the education sector, so if you’re taking courses, you’ve got an easy way to learn Flex and ColdFusion.

This is a great idea.
It’s true that Flash / Flex programmers are in high demand – and this is spot on PR.
Well done Adobe!

This offer has ended. Apparently there are a lot of out-of-work developers out there. This excerpt from the page at https://freeriatools.adobe.com/learnflex/:
Thank you for your interest in the program for unemployed developers. We have received over 15,000 requests for participation in the program, so we are currently not able to accept new enrollees.
