3. What is Flex?
Open source GUI framework
Easy to build new components &
complex interactivity
Fancy performance
Superpowers show up on projects that
require GUI beyond standard
components
19. Flex Ecosystem
350.000 <= Flex developers <= 500.000
Many good IoC / MVC frameworks
(Swiz,Parsley,Mate,RobotLegs,...)
Lots of other open source code (maps,
graphics, charts, …)
Many commercial components
Active community
20. Cons
Printing issues from browser
Doesn’t work on mobile browsers
Flex mobile apps performance not blazing
fast as native
“Well, hello, it’s Flash!”
21. Current state
Fresh blood / more developers on project
Full open source life
Framework detached from corporate
strategy
Tools in bloom from other vendors (Jetbrains,
FDT...)
Awaiting new compilers (Falcon, FalconJS)
