Hi, and welcome to the great world of Flex. One thing is for sure - your going to enjoy it.

It is always good to satrt with the official site: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/dataservices/

if you want to see what can be done with Flex in general and with LCDS, install Tour-de-flex: http://gregsramblings.com/2008/12/12/livecycle-data-services-and-tour-de-flex/

This Blog was a good start point to new guys where I work.
The most important suggestions he made was to:
1. Get to know google
2. Check out this lynda course.

Last but not least, AdobeTV have great videos to watch! see: AdobeTV Data services search page

By the way, AdobeTV itself is fully build with Flex.

I am a new flex developer.I would like to know about the LCDS. What it does?

One of the major feature of LCDS is it provides a server side push implementation to your flex app. How to configure it? Would not know, since it does not work in sync with c# have not explored it as much as I would have liked.

Do I need to know Java?

Yes, unfortunately Java is the major player in supported language, else I would be all over it.

Adobe® LiveCycle Data Services ES is a powerful solution for creating data-intensive rich Internet applications (RIAs) that integrate with J2EE applications and business logic. That is from the adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=lcds26_td

Can I get some sort of tutorial pdf for it?

Best way is to go through the tutorials on the adobe web pages. If you are using hibernate here is an extra example. http://blog.comtaste.com/2007/07/livecycle_data_services_and_hi.html and http://iamjosh.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/building-a-livecycle-data-service-application/ T

Be sure what LCDS can do for you with respect to Coldfusion and Flex/AIR.

There is likely something there that will save you a great deal of time, money and coding.
