“Flex is strong because of Java”, i believe so too

Aug 15

Posted by Kenneth in Flex, Java | No Comments

Today, there is only one API for creating production grade front end for RIA talking to Java. It’s called Adobe Flex. In 2010, JavaFX may become another alternative. But meanwhile, please stop bashing Java. Do not forget that many of these new popular programming languages exist because there is a J2EE application they need to connect to. Do not forget that Java puts bread on the tables of many people (including mine) around the world. Do not spit in the well you drink from.

Yakov Fain from Farata Systems » Flex is strong because of Java.

I can feel so much from what Yakov has written. I totally agree with him. Coming from an enterprise world, it is really where the big money pot is. No offense to the other languages, you can laugh all you want about Java but you are missing out on the potential Java can give to a Flex application. I am still a little skeptical about JavaFX. Let’s see what Sun can do with JavaFX.

Cairngorm Project Home at Adobe Open Source

Great news to the Flex community that Cairngorm is now open-sourced. I can only hope for more great things to come. Having completed my first project using Cairngorm, i would certainly recommend it to anyone who is using Flex in their projects.
