You can use flex to build all sorts of applications, from small rapidly developed prototypes and POCs to huge enterprise level applications. And it handles multimedia as good as any RIA type technology.
I don't know much about .NET other than it has deployment dependencies on having a Windows back end (or so I think). I can't say whether it is faster or not to develop on .NET vs Flex. In order to deploy a Flex app, you have only to worry that the user has the flash player and if not, there are several ways you can deliver your content anyway. Besides the Flash player has the best penetration stats of any browser plugin out there. I worked with some guys at Fidelity who were cranking out a Flex prototype app in under 2 weeks consistently. That is pretty damn impressive. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "fahd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everyone , > > I am a .NET developer and i read about flex as a fast application > development environment.i chack the showcases in the adobe site and i > find that all that applications that build using flex are a multimedia > applications. > my question is : > can i use flex to develope a non-multimedia app. like finance or > planning applications? and is it faster ( for develop ) than visual > studio .net ? > > Thanks for your help >
