Whether you’re new to the Wonderful World of Flex, or if you’ve used Flex 1.0, 1.5 or 2 in the past, head on over to the Adobe Labs site and check out the Flex 3 SDK, or if you fancy more of an IDE, grab Flex Builder 3 (which uses Eclipse).

If you choose to go the SDK route (it includes a nice command-line compiler, mxmlc) you have the option of grabbing either the Flex 3 SDK Beta 1 release, or you can grab one of the many recent Nightly Builds of the Flex 3 SDK (click the check box to enable the downloads and populate the list of nightly builds). A word of warning about the nightly builds though:
The nightly builds of the Flex 3 SDK do not include support for Adobe AIR. If you require Adobe AIR support you should use the beta 1 version of the Flex 3 SDK.
In an upcoming post, I’ll walk you through installing the standalone version of Flex Builder 3 (Beta 1) and how you can install a nightly build so you can take advantage of the latest code fixes and improvements.
Good luck, and happy Flexing!
