Starting back in June of 2008, I became a regular contributor to the Adobe Edge Newsletter. My most recent article, "The Future of Flex Components" was just published in the February 2009 edition. In this article, I explore the upcoming Flex 4 (codename Gubmo) component architecture and how it will change Flex develop in the future. Understanding how the new components are designed is critical both from a developers perspective but also a designers perspective so that they can best apply their design in a functional and consistent manner within the technology.

In the same edition, our good friend Doug Winnie also has a new article. In "An iterative approach to the designer-developer workflow", Doug discusses how designers and developer work using an iterative process and how this process can be applied to make a more cohesive team and product. Doug's insights are always spot on and once again his detailed research into workflows is shown in this piece.
