Hello All, I have to pick your brains on ways to connect to my back end. Right now I send data from flex via HTTPServices request to PHP and then PHP will return data via JSON. The reason why I do that is becuause I come from using Java Script and Dojo. I have been working with flex for many months and that is the way my front end (Flex) connects to the back end (PHP).
I have been been reading about 3 new thing (to me that is) and have a few questions about them. 1. I know that BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services are sort of the same thing, what are the differences? Is anyone using them and do you have to be a Java guru to use it? I know PHP well, but I can learn Java if needed. 2. Is AMFPHP a good tool to communicate to my backed? How hard is it to learn? What are the benefits of using it? 3. What is better for future Flex/Air development? I am creating a web app that a user has to authenticate to, session information has to be kept and that sort of stuff. I am asking the community what they think is the best way for Flex/Air to talk to the back end. I am running Centos 5, MYSql on Apache. Thanks for the help, timgerr
