RE: Lazlo
In what way ? It seems to talk SOAP, JavaRPC and several others. I can't speak for their latest release emerging but previous versions had little infrastructure available in this area. What do you mean by remoting here ? How is that different from 'remote service' ? SOAP vs MM's Protocol. Inherently a flash player weak point but remoting protocol offers significant performance boost over SOAP. (in real world, I'm not making an academic claim here) Perhaps the latest release supports it, don't know. I'd suggest taking both for a spin in a real world app scenario. Devil is in the details...I can attest to that coming from traditional flash RIA background then trying Laszlo and eventually settling on Flex. As for price, it's not our primary concern. Of course we'd rather pay less but our 2 machine cluster will support a large array of RIAs going forward. In comparison to actual development costs (regardless of the technology used) the sticker price is a small fraction of that cost. My point being our decision to remain on the flex train comes down to a combination factors other that the price tag. Both Developer and User experience with the technology, time already investedin tech ramp up, stability of the product, reputation of the company driving the product, responsive to our requirements input...etc We're certainly nobody special in the thick of things yet we often have direct access to MM engineers and product folks who are taking our input directly into the product. That kind of communication is critical for us...and is available to anyone really on flexcoders. To summarize. I've done my in-depth comparison and found Flex to be well beyond their implementation. I'll brush up on Laszlo's latest offering but it'd take a helluva push to move us of our current path. Cheers!
