An article titled "[From Tags to Riches: Going from Web 1.0 to Flex][1]" which I co-authored with [Shashank Tiwari][2] has been [published on InfoQ][1]. In the article, Shashank and I walk through the steps needed to port a traditional HTML-based application to Flex. We use the Java-based [Pentaho BI Dashboard][3] as our example application. Our goal in writing the article was to make the process easy for anyone to try on their own. It should be easy to try it yourself — just download the code and other necessary pieces. Also, if you want to play with the end result, you can access the Flex application [here][4]. Let us know what you think.

[Update: Shashank's [blog post about the article][5] made me realize that I forgot to mention I will be presenting on this topic at [JBoss World][6] this week but using the [JBoss JMX Console][7] as the example application. Thanks Shashank for including that!]
