I am considering flex for building data centric applications for use over the lan or internet. I have some experience with .net and am curious to hear from other that are familiar with .net and how it compares. I have read a couple of times that Visual Studio might be considered 'ahead' of Flex Builder. But my #1 interest is being able to wire up sql databases to the ui in the simplest manner possible, ie not a ton of code.
For experiments with flex, I would most like to take apart a tutorial or sample app that does standard db crud stuff, with multiple forms, related tables, data entry, that sort of thing. Can someone point me to the best example app of this type? Most demo apps I've seen are not mostly about crud. >From what I've read, flex data services (or whatever it's been renamed as) has a free version that is ok to use for commercial purposes, though non-clustered. Not sure what the other limitations of the free version are? I've read about Cairngorm, but am not really sure were it fits into the flex scheme. Finally, would it be good to start with Flex 3 beta 2, or should I stick with Flex 2 for now? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Flex-for-database-apps--compare-to-.net-tf4784184.html#a13686770 Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
