Developing Web2.0 flash mapping apps with ArcWeb Services

Some random notes from the session on AWX 2 -- Recall recently ArcWeb explorer 2 beta 1 released last week - See arcwebservices.com labs

ArcWeb Services AWX2 is built on Adobe Flex 2
2 APIs – javascript and Flex 2 ActrionScript API
Simple authoring where anyone with a notepad should be able to author an ArcMap web service (Source: AWX dev team)

New Features in AWX2
- more map types… tiled streets (ArcGIS online), topo, shaded relief. Streets, aerial and hybrid always been there
- support for 13 diff projections (repro on the fly)
- create your own widgets (think Apple)
- using Flex API the map can be completely customized (via style sheets)
