The Flex programming model

You deploy the Flex presentation server on a J2EE application server or servlet container. The Flex presentation server includes the Flex application framework and the Flex runtime services, as the following figure shows:

The Flex Presentation Server

The Flex application framework consists of the MXML scripting language, the ActionScript programming language, and the Flex class library. You write Flex applications using a combination of MXML and ActionScript. Use MXML to declaratively define the application user interface elements and use ActionScript to define client logic and procedural control.

The Flex class library contains Flex components, managers, and behaviors. With the Flex component-based development model, developers can incorporate prebuilt components, create new components, or combine prebuilt components into composite components.

The Flex runtime services include support for server-side data access, compilation and caching, enterprise resource integration, and deployment runtime needs. All Flex services minimize redundancy and fully exploit existing enterprise resources.

Do you think this image could be a little cleaner/sharper? Not a big deal but rather unprofessional looking.

Thanks for the comment. We will take a look at seeing if we can improve it.
