Resources for working with Flex, Flash, AMFPHP, Zend and BlazeDS

Joey Lott is speaking tonight at our meeting on the topic of AIR/Flash and Flex and it should be great. We will also have members of the local Philly PHP Meetup Group joining us. Why you ask? Well there are a lot of cool things you can do by combining Flex/Flash/PHP. Originally there was a PHP Meetup sheduled for tonight as well that Christophe Coenraets of Adobe was going to speak on the topic of Flex/PHP and the recent announcements about integration of AMFPHP with the Zend Framework and other goodies resulting from Adobe and Zend working together. However that event got cancelled when Adobe heard that Joey was going to be in town on the same night, despite us trying to make it a joint event it just didn't work out for one reason or another.

So, what I wanted to provide for those of you from the PHP Meetup group (and our regular members) who were really interested in hearing what Christophe had to say on this topic, is a series of links to some great resources on that topic. Joey may even discuss some of this in his preso tonight - but I wanted to get these up for everyones benefit.

I want to get the links up as quick as I can as I am getting ready to run out to head down to the meeting, so I'll probably update this post with more details later tonight after the meeting - but here are some raw links to a number of related resources including some great videos and tutorials from Lee Brimelow of Adobe and GotoAndLearn fame.
