I am a Flex developer. I think Flash builder is a great development environment

  • 0

I am a Flex developer. I think Flash builder is a great development environment for developing rich internet applications , 3D games, etc.

Now I am worried about the latest news related to Flex. Some blogs and news wrote flex is going to die. Another one wrote flex has not died.

How can I know latest updates about Flex in Apache. I am visiting Apache incubator site about Flex daily

But I didn’t get a satisfying answer. I read many articles I found with google search. I’m a little confused about the future of flex. I don’t know how I can develop applications in HTML5 instead of Flex. I think it is too difficult. I can’t develop big rich applications using html5 like http://www.pixlr.com, dashboard applications , Flash 3D games etc. Html5 is concept with oops?

I also have some more questions.

Why did adobe abandon flex?
What progressions will happen in Apache incubator for flex
What is real future of flex in Rich Internet Applications World?
In stack overflow, there is lot of specialists, developers and researchers .So I think stack overflow is a good place to ask these questions.
I expect this should be helpful for all Flex programmers.
Please help.

    I think Adobe “abandons” Flex because of the difficulty to maintain the flash player on mobile multi-platforms. You can’t have the flash player plugin, and generally plugins, installed everywhere : it asks a lot of efforts to make it work on every device.

    Today, thanks to ios (and android) popularity, everything is application based. I just think that, naturally, Air is the best technology to work with, since it produces platform dependant executables with platform independant source code.

    Since they don’t have the time to keep on raising Flex, they give it to the Apache community, which have great projects like the HTTP Server.

    Well, probably, HTML5 will be best in the future. Or not. HTML5 is a community language, Flex had a private owner. But now, Flex is free of his private owner, so it will naturally compete with HTML5.

    At the moment, it is stable, mature, and the best RIA choice.
    I think Flex has a great future.
    But that’s just my point of view 🙂
