Staying with Flex. Not looking elsewhere. Michael
From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ron G Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 8:15 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives Yes, we have also abandoned Flex in favor of ZKoss. Since we are already a Java shop, on the server side, it seemed logical to use a Java based framework on the client-side. The thing I really like about ZK or ZKoss is that it has equivalent components to Flex. In fact, it actually has more components than Flex. It implements an approach that I really like of separating the UI into appearance and behavior - much like the Spark components of Flex. Well, not exactly, but sort of. :) Here's what I mean. For each UI object, it has a client side (widget) and server side (component). I won't go into further detail, but it gives you a nice separation of concerns that you can avail yourself of. This feature also greatly insulates the rendered pages from x-browser compatibility issues. Check it out for yourself at their site (zkoss.org).
