Because Flash can work just fine with .Net and Java and they're not mutually exclusive. One is for interface and the others are back end, but that's not presented at all in the article. The author does mention that they considered ActiveX for the interface, but that's ActiveX not .Net or Java either. I can't even tell from the article what the company chose for their back end, but if I were an exec I would assume it was Flash.
Instead of writing an article that points out that developers could leverage the best of both worlds, the .Net or Java architecture they're already familiar with and the advanced UI capabilities of Flash, he makes it out to be a battle royale in which there can be only one. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Calvin Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 8:44 AM Subject: Re: OT .Net?
