I become Adobe Certified Expert on Flex 3 with AIR, I suggest how to prepare the exam

Today I become ACE on Flex 3 with AIR… I’m so happy!!!
I’d like to suggest some stuff, to prepare Flex 3 ACE exam to help other developers that would try this… experience.

First of all download ACE PDF file where you can find exam outlines on adobe.com site.

Then start you preparation reading Flex 3: Training from the source, the official Adobe press book, I know that it could be so easy for advanced developers but you can find interesting stuff that go in deep about particular arguments.

Another PERFECT resources are Adobe documentations that explain very well and very easily how to use Flex and Adobe AIR API, in particular for AIR the best official stuff is Adobe livedocs.
I suggest to take also others books about AIR because you must remember a lots of things for the exam, so take a look at amazon.com 

Work Work and Work again with Flex! Find little or big projects, it’s not important but you can work in real problem solving issue. Also it’s so important to fix many concepts about how to work with modules, components and so on.

When I was at San Francisco MAX I went to Blaze DS and LiveCycle pre-event and it was very helpful for my preparation because LCDS is a part of exam and I’ve never take in consideration before this learning session, so I think you can take a course about LCDS in your country or town.

When you finish with all those steps you are ready to take the exam and maybe to pass it!

Feel free to comment this post with any questions.

  1. Bravo!
    Can you tell me how much time you need to prepare the certification or it’s not quantifiable?
    Does the certif cover every Flex Air topics? In other words how many questions do you answer?

    1. you must study hard to make this certification because they could ask anything about Flex Framework and AIR API so I suggest to work a lots on those technologies and then study last things on books.
      My 2 cents

  9. Thanks for the reply..

    an other question for you?

    when can i say about flex and air applications?

    from my knowledge i understood that flex is a suite and with it i can create web or desktop app. In the first case web app runs through the flash player of a simple browser, in the second case desktop app runs through the air runtime library. Is it correct? Desktop app and web app use the same flex library? is it correct?

    thanks

    Regards
    Lorenzo

  10. Flex Builder is an IDE, with this software you can work with Flex SDK and create Rich Internet Applications that you can deliver via web.
    In last release you can create desktop apps also that live in Adobe Integrated Runtime, to work with AIR you must use other packages and not only flex framework

  13. I passed the ACE “Adobe Certified Expert” Flex 3 with AIR exam April 18, 2009.

    Passing score: 67%
    My score: 74%

    Section Results:
    Creating a User Interface: 90%
    Flex system architecture and design: 77%
    Programming Flex applications with ActionScript: 83%
    Interacting with data sources and servers: 25%
    Using Flex in the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR): 80%

    The test was tough, but about the same as the Flex 2 ACE exam I passed last year in April.

    I’m very excited to have passed this exam!
