I found the Laszlo mailinglist to be very helpful. I got a quicker
response rather than using the forums. I believe the sign up is at
openlaszlo.org

Mike,
I didn't have much luck with the Laszlo community. I posted several
questions, and most of them went unanswered. Maybe they just don't like
ignorant newbies?
I also couldn't get Laszlo Systems to answer all of my questions. They sent
me a nice email when I joined their forum, but when I asked some questions,
they only answered some of them (and the answers they did send were a long
time coming).
Overall, it seemed to me that the Laszlo support was lacking compared to
what I've found with Flex.

Yes OpenLaszlo is a great solution. Ive used it quite a bit. They have
a awesome community for help and getting started with it.

Hi,
I've been too busy developping in Flash lately to give a try to the new
Flex
yet, so excuse me if the following question sounds stupid:
Flex use to be a server product, but with the new Flex Builder can you
simply build a swf file like you do with flash and include it in regular
html page? (and therefore php,etc...)
Or do you absolutely need to have a specific Flex server of some sort
running in order to deliver those files?
Thank you,
Frank

The other issue i see with flex is it's ability to scale. It doesn't
seem to have the ability to handle a ton of simultaneous connections
very well, ala Flash Media Server. Perhaps I'm off base here, but I'd
prefer to develop the front ends in flash and communicate back and
forth with a traditional back-end I.E. ASP, PHP, etc. Those things are
free to develop on, more prove and seemingly scale a hell of a lot
better.
Yes, it's not as simple as an "EASY" button, but if work was easy it'd be
fun and we'd all be broke.
Have you looked into FDS?
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexdata_services2/
When you say: develop the front ends in flash You mean the Flash IDE?
What makes you think developing in Flex does not allow you to communicate
with any traditional back-end?
Flex Builder is just an IDE. The end result is an swf the same as with
the
Flash IDE. It's just that an swf published from Flash is currently a
different version.
regards,
Muzak
