Hi all,
As a web developer we’ve often found ourselves wishing there was a way to make web applications our applications to be most userfriendly and that weren’t limited to the heavy restrictions of HTML.
Whenever we want to make our web application into dynamic or context driven we need dip and drive heavy amount of javascript and DHTML and it is very time consuming to make workflow interactive.
why would you want to be spending so much time on core UI functionality when you’re getting paid to work on business logic and workflow.
Adobe/Macromedia Flex takes you to the next level of web application development with the concept of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). You may have seen applications developed natively in Flash itself and realized that it offers a much more robust experience for the user where productivity is bolstered by ease of use, streamlined workflow, and real time interactivity that is impossible to accomplish in HTML itself. However developing rich applications in Flash for those who are core developers is daunting and unintuitive. The Flash development tool is geared for designers, and developing on a timeline is a strange concept. Flex removes that barrier to entry by providing a programmatic way for developing these RIAs
Just see the following Login Panel created in Flex Environment, the time we have taken to develop this is 2 min, believe it or not… and can you estimate how much time we will take this UI in HTML/Java script.
I created this blog to share my programmatic experiences with you
