Hi, the main concept is that all your code that will not be using flash or flex apis, or libraries using this apis, should translate directly. For example, all your business logic, along VOs, DTOs, Pojos, etc... should be the same. If you use some structural framework like PureMVC, that should follow the same rule. At the end you are the one that knows what you application does, and what is involved. So for me is something depending of each case.
Then for the things more "client side" (controls, layouts, containers, components...) and the rest of visual things, you can follow various routes. One is to use emulation components, there are many people here working on that path that help you better than I. Other is to redo the screens using Basic, Jewel, MDL, or other UI Set. This path is what I choose for our application, since I want some of the new things present nowadays in modern applications (responsiveness, new components like Drawers or Cards...) while maintaining the ease of development. One final thought. Think about the video I posted in the last email about responsive layout. This can be done with React, Angular or plain JS, but as I built this code on Royale (that is no more than the set of best practices I see here and there), I saw the great difference in terms of less code I have to put on my app, since Royale handles the internals for you, (a Drawer in royale is <j:Drawer/> while in HTML/JS/CSS there's many code behind that you must setup your own, and if you make some typo, it can be a nightmare to track what's wrong. And finally, is about structure, Alex explain very well about the importance of having structure like in a building, since we all know is not only about building something, is about maintenance and be able to detect errors sooner. A migration in the end is not an easy task, and if you choose Royale, React, Angular or other, you'll end having in a way or another, many headaches, for me it's a matter of think about what's happen after the initial problems are solved? It's easy to maintain and grow? it's easy to make others enter the project and see what's done and join the effort? For me those are the real points that makes me go with Flex and now with Royale, since each time I see React or Angular code, I see many lines and complexity that makes me think that's not the right way, that as a Application Developer, things should be far more easy (not as a framework developer that we must abstract all that complexity).
