I’ve only joined Adobe recently so perhaps my opinion is not as biased. ;-)

 

As a customer I’ve had great experiences with Flex support. Although I should note my previous employer had top level support so keep in mind your mileage may vary depending on the support program.

 

Essentially any time we were “stuck” on a project, whether it be configuring RTMPS, clustering FDS or trying to figure out FileReference limitations …a simple phone call to support got the ball rolling on a solution. If first level support can’t supply an answer they pursue the matter up the chain until they find someone that can. Every issue was solved within a few hours.

 

For larger installations I’d highly recommend support …at least for the first year as your company learns and adopts the technology as there are always growing pains. I believe you can ask what specific services are included with each level of support.

 

HTH,

Stace

Ok, will send money tomorrow ;-)

Seriously, I think Flex is a winner, just requires hard work from you guys on an ongoing basis. Quite frankly, Flex is the only truly integrated RIA platform – everything else pieced together and it shows.

I think we’re an important share.  Lots of existing and new products are using Flex for various pieces, it’s been exciting to see so many folks internally using Flex, not just on the outside J

Thanks for your answer. One of the reasons why I am considering the dev support program is that I have been on the flexcoder list for a while now and many of my posts remained unanswered. I am not blaming the list – it’s just the nature of the biest: some problems are complex and require work to reproduce – you cannot expect your peers to invest that kind of time. Unless someone has already been there and experienced the same issue or challenge, chances you get an answer are slim...understandably. Speaking of “shareholder” – I was considering investing into your company’s stock. I think that Flex has all the right ingredients for a disruptive technology (=revolution) and I like the grassroots approach – that’s how good things are made – but I am wondering how important a share this has in the overall Adobe portfolio. If “Flex Inc.” was traded on NASDAQ I would bet on it big time. ;-)

I believe that the enterprise developer support is not going to provide coaching.  It should provide bug support though (the turnaround is approximately 1 business day).  I think it could be a good thing, but you may want to keep an eye on flexcoders and the Adobe forums for a while and see how you’re doing after a week or two and if this might be sufficient.  Of course as an Adobe shareholder/employee I of course recommend you buying support J

I am considering signing up for the Adobe Developer Support program. I think it's about 1500$ per year, if I remember correctly. Before I do spend that kind of money though,  I want to know whether it will do for me what I hope it does. Does anyone on this list have experience with the program? Of course, Adobe people are more than invited to answer my questions below too ... ;-)

I have a big project ahead of me, and I can already tell, there will be

  1. Issues relating to bugs - for which I would need confirmation that they are in fact bugs so I can stop wondering and get busy with work-arounds
  2. Issues with proficiency - meaning: my own lack of experience with Flex, AS, and Flash. Does the support program provide "coaching" ? In other words, can I send in  descriptions of specific problems and expect some kind of "how-to" response? Not necessarily code, but steps to understake?

Maybe, I should also ask the other way around: What will I not get from the Dev Support program?

I am very excited about Flex, but I don't want to be blind-sighted about the process of building real-life applications. So all advise is welcome.

Thanks.
