The reason I put three of them together as a topic is because I've been working on these things for most of the past couple of days. Three of them have given me a big surprise, can say that the fun is endless ah.
OK, let's say, first of all, Python.
Because of the recent dynamic language comparison fire, I always wanted to try the dynamic language. The hottest thing in the dynamic language is Python and Ruby, because Ruby is a little Jap and I have a serious anti-Japanese tendency, so I don't hesitate to shoot Ruby and hug python. Having made up my mind, I ran to python.org to download a new version of Python, which contained a small IDE. After the trial feel quite happy. Flexible grammar, simple and easy to learn features and powerful features give me a deep impression. A man likened Python to "a Sea of Blue", a good analogy, a sea, jump inside casual swim.
Speaking of Python, we recommend a python book--"Dive into Python"
Next, we say Flex 2.
Flex 2 Introduction I will not say, we can go to the Internet search. I mainly talk about my experience after the trial, and the comparison with Ajax.
I feel flex is better for program developers, if you want to have a nice interface and a good user experience, but hate the way Flash is developed, then Flex is a good choice. It's more fluid than the ajax,flex operation, and it's better to say than the Ajax user experience. For the same application, Flex has a shorter development cycle than Ajax. There is no such thing as Ajax debugging inconvenience. You don't have to think about browser compatibility like Ajax. Overall feel flex is more suitable for application-oriented programs.
The following are some of the learning materials:

Finally, say Aptana.
Aptana is a very good JavaScript (AJAX) development tool, because it is so great, so I recommend it to you.
The following quotes are from the official Aptana:
