Hi all, I'm extremely new to the Flex world, and have been pounding away through tutorials for the last week. While i've found exceptional tutorials on functionality, and getting started guides on Flex builder, and even details on the framework works, i've yet to see a good tutorial on how to install and what exactly you need installed.
A while back i did a few admin sites with flash remoting i had learned from ASFusion's Real Estate App (AWESOME SITE BTW). I have another project coming up that deals with a lot of CRUD, and a database of about 30 tables or so. So after seeing flex i was in awe, and of course got excited of all the possiblities. BUT! As I am just a developer, an individual contracter with not so big clients, i find it impossible to afford 20k on FDS for on a server. I've searched all over the web to find a single hosting environment that has FDS as an additional option with Cold Fusion (as if good CF Hosting plans aren't already hard enough to come by), but i've yet ot find any. I've noticed that Adobe has a FDS Express? I've also noticed that it can be installed and used commercially on a Single CPU? Does that include Hosted Environments? After reading through a few messages on this site i noticed this comment in one of the posts: 'If your server-side data requirements are intense, you might want FDS, Flex Data Services. For normal data access, the RPC functionality is sufficient, and that is included with the framework (free)'. But after looking into LiveDocs i get: To use RemoteObject components, Flex Data Services or Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 with the Remoting Update is required. But then it goes on to say that in order to use Remoting, FDS must be installed and you have to set up Destinations. So which is it, and how do you do it? If i just have basic CRUD Functionality, can i get away without FDS on my hosted environment, and use the SDK to interact with a backend Database via CF? If anyone knows of any good tutorial to get you installed correctly locally, and then shows you how to replicate the same functionality on a server, i'd love to see it. Thanks again for listening, and i apologize in advance if i make no sense, as i've been reading all night about this! :) Thanks agian, David ------------------------ Yahoo!
