Re: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives

It DOES affect the developer - few companies can afford the high prices and you are out of a job.

I think at the moment pointless for any developer to learn Flex with the few limited opportunities.  The place I am currently working is the only one in town that does this work.  I think if you look on any of the job boards there will be next to nothing.  To them Flex still means a working condition (i.e. flex hours!)

Unless an open source/hosting environment can be established, I think it is doomed.  So far Flex is far too niche to have any traction.  The open source community/IBM seems to have chosen Laszlo.

Microsoft and Sparkle is on its way.  Macromedia has wasted the head-start they had.  Once the Microsoft propaganda machine kicks into gear...

Just having a superior product does not translate into a viable product.

The cost is a major issue when you go to put a commercial application in
production, and there is currently no alternative (if using Flex)

You can apply for a non-commercial license if that is your situation.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives

Hi all,
  Is there any alternative to Flex server, except the (very expensive)
one provided by MM?
  Are there any other options? Have all the members of this group who
are using Flex bought
it/evaluating it? Or is there any other option like a compatible
freeware?

  I know freeware versions of Flash Remoting do exist, is there anything
for Flex?

Thanks,
Anupam.
