Exodus
Guess who just got his Flash Builder Education serial number? Now I can start moving over actual projects from their current Flex Builder workspace and start taking full advantage of the new features built into the updated IDE.
Hmm ... now that I think about it, I am wondering if I can just point FB to the previous workspace I was using. I know you can't take a Flash Builder project backward to Flex Builder, but I don't really see any reason why I would need (now that the IDE is out of beta). We'll see, won't we? Let the exodus begin, indeed!
