Re: Flex is out

[Danielle Romain]

Actually, I think MM is right not to have created a "full" server product with Flex.  It seems that their strategy is to incorporate Flex functionality into the next version of CF.  But I think it would have been an equally poor choice to lock Flex with ColdFusion development.  Macromedia has done a good job in making products like Flash, Dreamweaver, et al., applicable to developers using CF, .NET, PHP or whatever.

I think it's safe to assume that current Flash RIAs are sitting on top of a separate web server (be it CF, or something else).  So, the frustration I among developers I have heard from today is not in Flex being a separate server, but its price.

I get the impression that developers see the need and usefulness of a product like Flex today, but don't want to wait for Blackstone and don't have an enterprise budget to work with.  I am one of them.
