Isn't the profiler only going to be available in the more expensive version? e.g. the one that costs a fair bit more than $250? This is from memory (at home time on a Friday) I've not checked it ... -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Sent: 15 February 2008 17:31 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Why upgrade to FB3? For the basic version of $250 bucks, for me it's a no brainer:
If you're using WebServices, then I'd upgrade, even if it's only to look at the code that the WSDL Import tool generates. This code is the best documentation I've found about Flex/Web Services. But you're not using Web Services. Scratch that. Compilation times. So much faster, though this is probably more due to SDK, but who knows. I know is that you wont be using Flex3 SDK with FB2. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, just assuming since one of the features of FB3 is targeting multiple SDKs). This alone is probably worth the aggravation of the upgrade. The Profiler. You're developing naked, in Antartica, while hallucinating, and being chased by polar bears without it. It brings Flex development into the real world as far as I'm concerned - at least for developing complex applications. At $250 bucks, it only needs to save a few hours of work to make itself pay for itself. One nasty memory leak bug...vioala. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Mr Greg Murnock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For the big discussion of the day/week... > > I have been given the task to give a "strong case" on why we need to spend the money (proposed pricing schedule) on the upgrade to FB3, when available. > Our company does not look to do AIR apps, we do not have a case to use Advanced Datagrid, we front CF7 with an Oracle DB (irrelevant) so the FDS is already there.
