RE: [flexcoders] Flex best with which server side technology ? (CFM/Java/ASPX?)

So Allen,  You’d rather not use Coldfusion?   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen Manning Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:44 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex best with which server side technology ? (CFM/Java/ASPX?)   Tolulope,   One thing to keep in mind is that ColdFusion is not strongly typed.  So although it allows you to whip up server - side Java code rapidly, the compiler doesn't support you in catching typing issues.   HTH, Allen   Allen Manning, Technical Director - Certified Instructor Prismix Ltd t: +44 (0)870 749 1100 f: +44 (0)870 749 1200 w: www.prismix.com                 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tolulope Olonade Sent: 06 June 2005 12:00 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex best with which server side technology ? (CFM/Java/ASPX?) Thanks All,  David what about people like me comfortable with C family of languages like C/C++ and C#? I heard the transition from those languages to Java is not much? How true is that? There was a time I was trying to set up a Java web development environment and I had to fiddle with things like JBoss, Apache,Tomcat, http conf, text files, xml files etc On the contrary on IIS its just few clicks and you are up and running… I think Xamlon is trying to preempt Macromedia by throwing weight behind these families of developers i.e. they love flash but prefer C# on MS.NET OR Click once Web/App server deployment. So between CFM and Java help compare ease of use AND Power to achieve things from a Flex perspective.   Thanks a lot.

(CFM/Java/ASPX?)   Hi,   I think you will find Flex is equally well designed to work with both CFMX (which itself runs on J2EE) or any of the widely used Java/J2EE servers.  Your choice at that tier should be based on other considerations.  In general, if you are already using CFMX, I'd stay with it; if you are already using Java/J2EE I'd stay with that.  If you are not familiar with Java/J2EE ColdFusion is a faster learning curve and a more RAD model for building apps and I would reccomend you check it out.   Regards, David Macromedia   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tolulope Olonade Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 3:10 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex best with which server side technology ? (CFM/Java/ASPX?) Can anyone please hit the bull’s eye for me on which server side platform Flex is best with? I know there no support for .NET for now. But what of ColdFusion and Java as most of our applications here tie into Databases a lot.     Thanks.   Yahoo!
