Hello,
My name is Dmitriy. I think I can share what I've been working on during last couple of years. I work for Christian University in Russia. The school hired me to make a website for them and to write a program to automate students' registration, grades and etc.
The school didn't have much money to use commercially based solutions. So we decided to go RIA. We used MySQL, PHP an Apache hosted on FreeBSD to build a backed for our application. First version of a client was built using HTML and _javascript_.
But 8 months ago I saw Flex on Macromedia Website and I decided to go for it and do everything I did in html with Flex. I started using it in it's Alpha state. So it was a risk for me to do it. But it I did.
Now I'm on my way to finish the first part of the school application which is built using Flex 2 & Cairngorm 2 and has following features:
Academic Programs Management
Semester/Sessions module
Classes Management
Teachers Management
Students Management
I even was able to build an interactive semester schedule builder
The RIA is really helpful here. We were able to automate the a lot's of processes which used to require lot's of hand work.
I think Flex is a great platform. I wasn't been able to try FDS yet, since the school RIA still has the same PHP backend. I only used Remoting (AMFPHP) instead of XML or http queries. But I hope I will do it in the future.
Another thing I had developed was a Flex based Bulletin Board. It's online and is used for secure staff communication.
I think these are the projects I can share about.
I would like to thank all the Adobe guys who spent these couple of years building such a greate tool as Flex. With Flex we don't have so many boundaries any more, we have much freedom to build things that were impossible before.
Ulich Dmitriy
