Chapter 4. Creating the main Flex UI

First: every great system has a command shell. It is always an integral part of the system. It’s been there since the system was born. The designer of the system couldn’t imagine life without a command shell. The command shell is a full interface to the system: anything you can do with the system in some other way can also be done in the command shell.
