Andrew, I didn't go into this decision lightly. In fact it wasn't my ultimate decision at all. I work for a HUGE company in which those decisions are anaylsed to the endth degree. And yes in high-end sight we should have done it in HTML/ColdFusion.
We actually discussed it with a Third party i.e. NOT me. So when is a good time to start working with the new tools? The only way to fully learn a language is to get dirty with it. My issue that I have with Adobe is that they DID not fully explain the complexity and learning curve that Flex has. The reason I raised this issue with all of you, is I truly believe that flex IS not ready for the main stream development environment. Its close but its just not ready. When I went to WebDU which I have nicked name FlexDU I spoke to Ted Patrick about the learning curve of Flex and what I could do to help reduce that learning curve and even he acknowledged that there is a steep learning curve with Flex and it is an issue that Adobe has recognized. He said wait for some more books to come out which should help. So perhaps now that Flex is open source we will see alot more tutorials and better resources.

But honestly it won't make me continue with flex. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
