On this line, would people be interested in a talk on using Flex and Rails together? We've been doing it for a year and a half and have a variety of experiences, some more interesting than others... All in all it's a pretty neat way to develop fast and pretty apps. The only downside being the nagging feeling of evilness involved with using the Flash runtime. Could show some of the different gateway mechanisms we've tried (e.g. JSON, to_xml, hand-crufted XML (and yes it's crufy how we do it), RubyAMF, WebORB for Rails). Perhaps the peeps would be interested to see some of the MVC frameworks available for Flex that we've tried to use to make Flex as fun as Rails? At the moment we're going with a pretty neat event-based one called Mate. A lot neater and more flexible than the traditional frameworks such as Cairngorm and PureMVC. Mate allows dependency injection a little like you do from the controller to the view in Rails, but has the advantage of using the Flex data binding mechanism, which means changes can be propagated immediately to views. (This is getting away from the Rails side though.) Anyway perhaps you guys have seen this before, etc, let me know...
