MACROMEDIA RELEASES FLEX

MONDAY, MARCH 29 2004 @ 09:17 AM

Macromedia Flex, the long awaited server technology to deliver enterprise level Rich Internet Applications is already out! Lots of information on Flex's product page and in the DevNet home, including articles, tutorials and case studies.

If you didn't make it to the beta, this is your opportunity to catch up. I'm yet to read all the information available out there, but it seems like there is something for everyone. Visit the Macromedia Flex Developer Center for a chock full of information that will get you started. To mention a few, Nigel Pegg presents Flex from the Flash developer perspective, while Ben Forta does the proper from a ColdFusion stand point, using a sample application. Also, join the FlexCoders mailing list, for up to date information and discussion.

A CD containing a trial version of Macromedia Flex is available for $8.99, which seems reasonable to me, as I wouldn't like to clog my servers allowing thousands of users to download such a piece of software...

How pathetic are you?
Do you not think that a software GIANT like Macromedia would be able tocope with the cost and the server load?

You never fail to make me smile with your inadequate ramblings.
Good day!

I don't know how 'giant' we can say Macromedia is, in terms of infrastructure, but that morning it was almost impossible to log into the membership section, and were not downloading anything. Maybe the downloads section is managed by another server? yeah, probably.

If you feel that my ramblings are inadequate, post your point on view, or just don't bother coming here... as far as I've read, many others have made similar comments afterwards, have you left your regards to them too?
