How would I start learning how to program in Flex?
Solution 1
Check out Ten Great Ways to Learn Flex, but I think number one should be to use the Quickstarts on the Adobe Site.
Solution 2
Flex in a Week Video Training on Adobe's site.
"Learn Flex in a week by going through this video training course. To maximize your learning, we recommend that you view the videos and complete the exercises in the order that they are listed. If you run into problems and have questions, you can ask a question on the Flex in a Week forum."
- Day 1: Flex basics
- Day 2: Component development
- Day 3: Putting it all together
- Day 4: Adding visual appeal
- Day 5: Architecture and advanced topics
Solution 3
noone mentioned FlexExamples
When I was working on a first flex project this resource helped alot to understand many things. The difference about it is, it has examples which is more required when you're developing application. It surely help you in many ways.
Solution 4
A book we used in class that is a free download from adobe: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/pdfs/getting_started_with_Flex3.pdf
Solution 5
lynda.com has a set of Flex videos, including basic Flex 3, advanced topics, and AIR Essentials.
It's a subscription site, but for $250 a year, if you use other Adobe products like ColdFusion 8 or the new CS 4 (they have plenty of CS 3 videos too), it's easily worth it.

The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague. -- E.W. Dijkstra, The Humble Programmer HomeValet.co
