>>commercial crap: >>remember Generator ? >>1.5k just to dynamically load JPGs in it ... >>marketing crap really
Cedric - not sure I understand the basis of your rant. Are you upset with the current pricing of Flex - that 15k is outrageous? Or 1k for Flexbuilder 2 is still over priced for what it will do? Or do you think Flex is generally a poor product? Or what? Have you used Flex? It's a lot more than a dynamic jpg loader. Around 1k for a product that takes mxml and Actionscript and genrates rich and highly feature-rich .swfs for online Web 2.0 apps is a great price, and I can't wait to have it in my toolbox. I don't think 15k for Flex server is a steal, but large enterprises who can afford it can also very quickly reap benefits over traditional Web 1.0 programming. Depending on what you're trying to do, you can save 15k worth of time easily with Flex, plus the user experience is so much better.
