To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 6:57 PM I think that is because flex is now making inroads into the enterprise and Java is one of the big languages for big enterprises. SAP Business objects product XCelsius is based on Flex and has come with an SDK that lets you integrate Flex components as BOBJ components for dashboarding. SAP Visual Composer is based on flex too. Oracle has some products that use it as well. Now for enterprise's using Java, UI has laways been the weakest link. JSP is decent but nowhere close to Flex. JSF never got that popular ans struts is age-old but still used. The real problems is multitude of technologies there that are complex and still do not do that good a job. Enter Flex with its good integration capabilities, remoting capabilities, browser independent development etc and the really cool nice interface at a quarter of the time... So the strongest contender on UI is trying to replace the weakest performer here. Don't get me wrong...I am a java guy and I love it (a bit of love is lost after the oracle acquisition) but having used Servlets, JSP, Struts and MyFaces I really like Flex. You do not have to know that much Java...just a bit on how servlets work, security and web services. There are online tutorials on Sun that are pretty good...Java Trails on the core SDK (not Java EE) Web Manager FlexDownloads. com --- In flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com, "fred44455" <fred44...@. ..> wrote: > > Since this year you don't seems to be able to find a Job Offer in Flex > without the requirement: Knowledge in Java, JEE2 etc.. required( Most job ads > in Dice.com) Is that mean that now not only I need to learn Flex but also > Java to be able to find a Flex Developer job?? >
