An ambitious project to convert a client/server order entry/inventory management/purchasing system for a stainless steel distributor with offices in several countries. This may not be the best project to use as an introduction to Flex but it is certainly not boring. I am coming from a j2ee background with a fair amount of experience in developing web application using that architecture. However, for the client side of things I do find Flex pretty daunting.
The most frustrating part is that I have a fairly complex data structure and am struggling with trying to integrate that into the flex UI. In particular, the objects I need to display have deep graphs and I am finding it difficult to display (but mostly manipulate) the data in a DataGrid. I'm sure this will all become clearer as I get a greater knowledge of Flex but right now it is frustrating. However, I am upbeat about the promise of Flex and feel it does provide the means to create innovative and fun to use web applications. -Mike --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "David Mendels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > 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.
