Comments on: Adobe Compares Flex and Ajax http://blog.vixiom.com/2008/02/06/adobe-compares-flex-and-ajax/ The Vixiom Blog :: Flex & Flash on Rails Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:11:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Rey Bango http://blog.vixiom.com/2008/02/06/adobe-compares-flex-and-ajax/#comment-43882 Rey Bango Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:39:18 +0000 http://blog.vixiom.com/2008/02/06/adobe-compares-flex-and-ajax/#comment-43882 Well to clarify some things, Brian Rinaldi isn't an employee of Adobe. He wrote this piece for the Adobe Edge online magazine so this isn't Adobe's stance. Brian's a sharp guy and has some good points in his posting as there are specific instances where one technology is better suited than the other. You can see his blog here: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/2/6/Comparing-Adobe-Flex-and-Ajax-Development-Models As for ColdFusion, well it's obvious you're not in tune with the CF community and the breadth of features included in CF8. It appeared to be a shrinking market for awhile but as of the latest release has seen quite a bit of resurgence in use. So don't be so quick to dismiss it. Also, if a person can't read and understand CFML, then there's a serious lack of skills someplace as it's as straightforward as any language out there. Finally, the reason that Brian's article uses CF is because he's a CF expert. Well to clarify some things, Brian Rinaldi isn’t an employee of Adobe.
