We just launched a new rich internet application for Destinationbeer.com, called Beer Hunter. It was written in Flex and Ruby on Rails and features mapping and 150 beers from around the world. We think it's pretty cool, so check it out, and let us know what you think. One of the things I really like about it is that the design pattern can be applied anywhere you're filtering products geographically and on attributes. Coffee? Wine? Jewelry? Chocolate? Travel Books? I particularly like the way the beer list visually sorts when you change a filter and the zoom interactions on the map.
There's more information in the case study on the Pathfinder web site, Sasha has written a related post on RubyAMF and Flex from the Flex perspective , and Justin has written one on Rails, AMF and Flex from the Rails perspective.
