If you want some of the functionality of Flex (i.e. forms, data grid,
etc...) and cost is an issue, then ColdFusion MX 7 could be an option
for you. It has a very cut down version of Flex built into it and
accessible via

Hi all,
Is there any alternative to Flex server, except the (very expensive) one

Are there any other options? Have all the members of
It DOES affect the developer - few companies can afford the high prices and you are out of a job.
I think at the moment pointless for any developer to learn Flex with
the few limited opportunities. The place I am currently working
is the only one in town that does this work. I think if you

The problem with Flex pricing isn't the price itself. The problem is
it's model. Most development I have seen is only using Flex as a
compiler

Laszlo touts itself as being an alternative, but it's not even in the same

The issue of cost doesn't affect the developer since you can get the
perpetual developer license for free.
The cost is a major issue when you go to put a commercial application in
production, and there is currently no alternative (if using Flex)
You can apply for a non-commercial license if that
My issue is with the deployment cost. So the only alternative for small-time
Web application
developers is to have their own servers for deployment.
I am surprised that not many people are talking about it. It seems people are
happy with the
status-quo, ie. paying huge amounts to MM.

Yo. Well as mentioned there was HUGE sticker shock when MM doubled the
price, and a lot of complaining. But MM is aiming at large Enterprises
that can afford it. Similarly you can complain to Ferrari to drop the
prices of their cars... but if you wanna role with the high end you
gotta shell
Tariq,
Thanks for the long list of alternatives. Some of them actually look
promising. Which one in
your view comes closest to the gizzmos provided by Flex?
My point is, I didn't see this group talk about alternatives. One way to put
pressure on MM is
to support an open source/3rd party
Well I don't know if I would venture to "dirt cheap". What other
systems are you referring to?
If you're enterprise, and building mission critical apps, and
especially if it affects financial performance and need to be SOX
compliant you're basic setup is:
- 1 Development WS
- 1 QA Server

If you search long enough you'll find some slides from a presentation
some guy did which I wish I bookmarked which talks about all the

See SAP for starters, then once you jump that hurdle, now look at anything with the word ORACLE in it.
