It is a great time to be a Flex developer. In June 2006 we released Flex 2, a lineup of developer tools, libraries and runtime services that enable developers everywhere to build and deploy rich Internet applications that take advantage of the Flash® Player runtime. Flex 2 has been hugely successful with tens of thousands of new developers, a vibrant community that shares tips, tricks, and code, dozens of commercial and open source components and other add-ons, and of course hundreds of new applications built, with more coming online every day. In the short lifetime of Flex 2, we've seen Flash Player 9 follow the traditional penetration pattern of previous Flash Players and reach over 94% penetration in mature markets (as of September 2007). Finally, we were pleased to see Flex win its second Jolt Award, this year in the web development category.
