I'm a flex developer who just joined a .NET development group. We make internal apps but are going to grow our group and have an e-commerce subset.
Everyone on my team has seen my flex apps and they understand the power. BUT, they want to do a formal review of Flex vs Silverlight before we buy a bunch of adobe software and go down that path. Included in the debate is Photoshop vs Expressions (I know I know). Although I love .NET for the back end I think that flex should be used for our RIA solutions. I was hoping that the fine hard working folks at Adobe already have a document that clearly lays out the advantages of Flex over Silverlight. If so, I would greatly appreciate it being sent to me. Here are some things that people are concerned about. Sharepoint integration (this is a big #1) SEO Workflow updates (designer/developer) Is licensing available? Flash player 9 adoption Although I know the answers to most of these questions I think any document from Adobe would say it better than I could. My boss is flying to Redmond this afternoon for a meeting with Microsoft. Although it's not about Silverlight he is going to ask them about it and I'm sure they will try to give him some kool-aid. I'm making a Flex introduction presentation for developers today for a meeting on Thursday. So speed on this request is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, please save me from programing in silver light and expressions for the next 5 years. -Nate
