Developers everywhere now will be able to build next generation Web experiences that help organizations engage users more effectively, increase productivity, and deliver better business results, the company says.

"Over the last 10 years we have used many technologies to build rich Internet applications for our clients, including DHTML-based and Ajax techniques, but we always found ourselves having to sacrifice either developer productivity or the richness of the user experience," says Dave Wolf, vice-president at Cynergy Systems.

"With Flex 2.0 and Flash Player 8.5, we can finally deliver the kinds of rich applications our clients demand without compromise. That is Web 2.0!"

The Flex 2.0 product line aims to provide developers with an extensible application framework, intuitive programming model, standards-based data integration, and an Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) for application development and UI design.

With an extensive component library, advanced data integration, and support for standard back-end server infrastructures, Flex 2.0 is designed to enable developers to build virtually any type of rich Internet application, from simple interactive sites, to rich data dashboards and portals, to data-intensive enterprise applications.
