Evan Gifford here from Profitstreams. We’ve started our project with Beta 3 and are now
using Flex Builder 2. We are using a Service Orientated Architecture with
multiple operating systems and languages powering our presentation tier. I was
able to use the Restaurant finder example application to convince our CEO to
use Flex as our primary presentation tier technology. :^) We are using Flex to empower customers to easily make online
food orders and online restaurant reservations. We are also creating an invite
system which will allow a restaurant or customer to create an invitation
(either SWF, Email or Print) and send it to their contact list. All this is
tied to their payment information and completed online. We currently have a working prototype of the invitation
creator which allows a customer to choose a template, customize it using modified
Rich Text Editors (resizable, customized), add and re-size and image or logo,
then manage and select recipients and complete the proofing process using PDF.
This proof-of-concept application was successful and very impressive to
everyone concerned. We us FLV video helper videos (yours truly), in-context
help windows and embedded SWF animations along with a very intuitive interface
in an effort to create a very low-touch and virally-cool solution. Coming from a Perl/Generator 2/Flash 3 background, I’m
very excited to see a mature product which accomplishes exactly what we knew
the internet is capable of all along. I’ve bounced back and forth between Graphic Designer
and Programmer for these last 6 years, using everything from Quark Express and
more recently CS2 to using Generator 2 and Perl to generate dynamic flash
content to programming eCommerce solutions in PHP. Flex is the technology I would work with
if given a choice of anything in the world. :^) -Evan From:
[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Mendels Hello, It has been less than a month since we
shipped Flex, but I know many folks on this list had projects they started back
in the public beta time. I know in many cases you may not be able to talk
about what projects you are working on, but for those who can I'd love to get a
view onto what folks are building. We spent a long time (almost two years)
on all the parts of the Flex 2 product line (and the Flash Player 9) and it is
very cool to see the traffic here, the emergence of third party conferences
like www.flexseminar.com, the books
coming out on Flex, the 60K plus downloads of the IDE in the public beta, but
we'd love to get a sense of what real applications people are starting to
build. The team is already working on plans for mid-term and longer term
upgrades to Flex, and it helps us to really understand what people are
building. So, if you are able to talk about what you are building please
do share--I think it would be very interesting for the community and very
valuable for us on the Flex team at Adobe. --David Adobe -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
