Adobe recently ran a series of online conferences via Breeze under the banner of Adobe Developer Week. There was a great and diverse range of topics on offer; including Flex, LiveCycle, ColdFusion, Apollo, Model Glue, RIAs, Ajax, ActionScipt 3 and security.
The good news is that all the sessions were recorded and are readily available - I'd recommend that you spend the time going through them to see what's happening now and what's on the way, especially considering that the launch of Flex 2 is not far over the horizon. Also be sure to check out Builder AU's current Adobe Flex 2 Flex Derby competition, where you could win a massive LG plasma TV or an Xbox 360 games entertainment system.
