I didn't say to ask the client which route to take, but to rather ask them what they want in general. They (probably) won't ask for native or web or Flex or HTML, just "I want to sell widgets". Based on what they want and the experience they want the users to have, that then helps you judge what tool is best to use. If a client doesn't know what they want, you can help them I suppose but they really shouldn't be bugging you. ;) > 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. Heh, well, we aren't talking about a lot of things here. I mean, you already know HTML I'd hope. Learning how to best use HTML for mobile devices is a subset of that knowledge. If you don't know how to use Flex and AIR, that's something you can learn and it has practical uses outside of mobile too. If you don't know how to build native apps for iOS or Android, than that's one more thing. I'd see no problem with a developer having a good hand on 2 of those above - even all 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345860 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
