I can see that perspective being good for those sophisticated clients who do walk in and ask for something specific. However, my clients tend to have a goal in mind and I pitch them on the medium to achieve that goal, about which they have no clue, typically.
So, yes, it would be good to be have the time to be all things to all clients, but I've got to make decisions between approaches...no time to learn several, some of which may never be something a client wants. Just practical considerations, mostly... my ROI... -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 10:32 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Need some perspective... For iOS there is no AIR download. For Android there is - but it's handled rather nicely (and it's a one time affair). As for "is it better" - that's not a question I can answer for you. Whats "best" is the tool that allows you to deliver what the customer needs. I've worked with both HTML sites (jQuery Mobile), HTML compiled to native (PhoneGap), and Flex, and I can see benefits in all the approaches. I recommend getting comfortable with them all. That way when the client comes in and says, I need X, you can better meet that need.
