I hope it spurs Adobe to improve Flex/Flash. I'm a recent Flex developer but I like what I've been able to do with Flex in the last 4 weeks.
Here's where I think Flex (or my understanding of Flex) could improve: 1. A stronger IDE. I've used Visual Studio and it clearly beats Eclipse. 2. Stronger/clearer integration with .NET web services? I'm using them now and it's ok, but figuring it out wasn't nearly as easy as the Flex Data Services. Adobe's only hurting Flex by deprecating the other back-end options in the documentation in favor of their own. 3. I'd really like to see the tools and/or documentation provide stronger support for modular team-based coding. 4. Stronger support for re-hydrating an application so it doesn't lose state when a user surfs to another page in a multi-page site and then returns to the page with the embedded Flex application. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Muller Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 8:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
