Hi, > Out of curiosity, as Flex matures under Apache's watch what is the way > forward for data-centric web applications? There was a corporation with Adobe and Zend that created the "Flashbuilder for PHP", an approach to provide additionally IDE functionality including code generation to simplify Flex/PHP development.... but it's discontinued I think. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash-builder/articles/flashbuilder-php-part1.html
Moreover there're some "outdated" open source projects with the goal to speed up the PHP/Flex development process, e.g.: http://fredericbournival.com/sphex/ (Google with words like "PHP, Flex, ORM, Doctrine" to find other approaches) >I'm unsure if I need (or should consider) a framework like Zend or WebOrb to >assist. It may be determined by my client's corporate server restrictions. If you'd like to connect your backend via AMF you should I think. But these libraries are just PHP classes. Using Zend, there's no need to deal with the complete Zend framework, just consider the Zend_AMF module. If you've questions regarding PHP/MySQL feel free to contact me. As an alternative to the venerable PHP/MySQL perhaps you 'd like to take a gander to hip technologies like node.js and noSQL databases (If your data model allows it) ;-) http://www.rivellomultimediaconsulting.com/node-js-for-flash-and-flex-introduction/ http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/node-js/ Connect your AS3 application directly to MongoDB (Don't know if this project is still active): https://code.google.com/p/jmcnet-full-mongo-flex-driver/ Olaf Meet Edscha at IZB in Wolfsburg, 14.10.-16.10.2014; Hall 7, Stand 7219!
