In preparation for my presentation on Mashup tomorrow at NY Flex group, I gave myself a little challenge. What kind of a Mashup application could I build in about five hours of work, without using a designer!
The result is a job board for Flex developers that can be seen below:
Experience the application here:

The Mashup allows you to search for Adobe Flex Developers Jobs based on your Zip code. In addition, you can SMS a job posting to your cell phone. I used two Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), a web service and skin styling.Tomorrow’s one hour presentation will focus on describing what the buzz around Mashup is all about, how to build your own Mashup in Flex and helpful tools and tips to make your life easy.
If you live in the New York area, sign in at New York Flex Group [http://NYFlex.org] and stop by tomorrow! We will have a lot of fun!
Elrom,
Great talk last night. The example you have is pretty cool looking forward to seeing the source code.
Thanks again.

Hi Dave,
It was pleasure meeting you and I am happy you enjoyed the presentation last night I had great time presenting. I uploaded a zip folder with the source code, as promised, the zip code include a folder with the proxy so you can see how it’s being done using PHP to overcome the crossdomain limitation. The “Umap” component is a custom loosely coupled component so you will be able to reuse the code on future applications you may be working on.
