Thanks Jeremy, I'd not seen the flex dev derby page. There are some pretty interesting apps there, a good exposure.
Do you (or anyone) have any perspective on how flex compares with .net, re getting work done? .net in total includes in theory all layers including the webservice etc that one might use to handle interaction with the backend. With flex one uses java or rails or even .net. --- In [email protected], "Jeremy Lu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > well, Flex 2 is surely suitable for database oriented or data-centric > application, you can check out the Flex Derby pages here: > > http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Showcase:Flex_Developer_Derby > > lot of applications are data-heavy and co-op with backend technology > closely, this is never an issue. > > Judging from what you described (database-frontend, form-entry, CRUD stuff), > Flex2 should serves you quite right, check out following topic in the > livedoc/manual: > > -RPC in Data Service: this is for data connection with backend using HTTP > Get/Post, Web Service, XML or Remoting. > > -FORMS: this is for creating user-input Forms, handling all the layout, > required field, data validation and so on... > > -Validator: there are various built-in Validators (email, credit card...) to > check user-input data before sending back to server. > > in my opinio, it's really a snap to build this kind of Form-Entry-CRUD-Stuff > with Flex2 :-) > > Jeremy. > > > On 6/10/06, michaellisten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > But most flex example apps are less database oriented and are often showy > > shopping carts.
