I'm putting together a small Flex vs. Ajax list for dealing with clients and
would love is people can point out where I'm wrong and what I've missed.
Thanks
Assume that price is not an issue (it's not), here are the basic
advantages/disadvantages
Flex advantages: very capable IDE, Images are part of a flash movie and can't
be downloaded directly, supported by Adobe, XML based language, ability to
leverage flash components into the application, great speed increase over
previous versions of flash (if that was even possible).
Flex disadvantages: Needs the flash player, Need to learn and XML based
language and possibly actionscript to build real applications
Ajax advantages: pre-built frameworks can be leveraged, familiar to those who
know HTML, Javascript, etc. no need for additional software past an up-to-date
browser, open standard
Ajax disadvantages: No IDE, no browser standards (slight alterations per
browser), hard to build components outside of frameworks (in general), images
and other data open and available.
