Students and Teachers - get Adobe Flex Builder Pro Free

Several weeks ago, Adobe announced that it was giving away Flex Builder Pro to students, faculty and staff of eligible educational institutions. Recently, I’ve met a several students and teachers that were not aware of the program so I thought I would do a quick post.

So… here’s the deal. You can download Flex Builder 3 Pro today from http://www.adobe.com/go/flex_trial. The eval license is good for 60 days so you can start using it immediately.

Then, go to http://www.flexregistration.com/, complete the form and attach a scan of your student/faculty/staff ID. Within a few days, you will receive your permanent serial number.

Then, go to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/edu/ and start learning and building cool Flex applications. You can also use Flex Builder to create desktop applications for Windows, Mac and Linux (Linux in beta now) that run on Adobe AIR.

You’re getting a $699 product ($669 on Amazon) for FREE so this is definitely worth checking out.

Note: This is not just for students…it’s for teachers and staff too! Whether you are the comp sci professor or the campus night watchman, you can take advantage of this.
