RE: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App

[Tracy Spratt]

Consider .NET and HTTPService.  Using xml over HTTP, you don’t need specialized expertise, and your data sources could be consumed by an AJAX client as well as the Flex client.  Of course, you can do xml over http with any of your backend choices.  Flex 2.0 has good xml support.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Clarke Bishop Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 11:30 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App   I am in the process of choosing a server-side technology for a Flex App I'm building, and I'd like to get ideas from the experts on this list. Right now, my candidates are:   - ColdFusion - Java - PHP - .Net   I'll probably use AMF rather than web services for transfering data back and forth to the server.   ColdFusion may always offer very tight integration with Flex and it offers high developer productivity, but there's also the cost of the server license. The others are free or cheap.   So, my questions are:   - Is there any compelling reason to pick one of these backends -- Especially considering Flex will be on the client-side?   - Is there another backend technology I should be considering?   Thanks,       Clarke -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
