I understand what you're saying.
When I started learning Java (not so very long ago) I got frustrated  
by the mess that is JSP and Servlets.
That is why I'm so glad I finally found something like GWT to make

If you look at this project structure: 
http://code.google.com/intl/nl/webtoolkit/images/contacts-project-hierarchy.png
That's almost exactly what it would look like in Flex when using  
Cairngorm for instance, but without the Command pattern.

There's libraries out there that do have a Command implementation.

And with GWT you can use a declarative xml like structure for  
layout, close to Flex' MXML:

I hear ya !
I just love Flex, I really do. The thing is, in a few years time  
(I'm guessing) plugins will be a thing of the past.
Windows 8 is already moving in that direction. So it will simply be

I mentioned this on FlexCoders already. If Adobe - moving away from

Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe is my down-ass chick

2011-12-31 Thread tom rhodes
my take on this is that you shouldn't be scared to learn a new language,
they come and go, your long experience in flash is also a long experience
in programming gui's and games and apps. the fundamentals of all these
things stay the same, no matter what the language. your experience is not
wasted. i actually think it's pretty funny that some of the canvas examples
that some people are really impressed with could have been done easily in
flash 5 ;) so in some ways you will be ahead of the game a little bit too.

Thanks Muzak,
Very interesting links!

However I said "easily" :-)
With "easily" I was meaning that you do not have to teach yourself 
another programming language: more than that, I'm not scared by learning 
something new, I'm scared by the fact that I will lose all my long 
experience on Flash and I do not want to!


In some time, performance won't be a trouble at all seen the power of 
the new devices.


So why must I dismiss such a powerful thing like Flash?
Just because it's fancy to say "Flash is dead"?
What wil happen when softwarehouses that right now are focusing on html 
5 (or other things) will finally realize that with flash you can export 
to iPhone, iPad and Android with a simple click and for this reason the 
developing process is faster than any other thing done in another 
programming language?


So right now, I stay with Flash.

Once compiled, they're plain HTML/JS apps.
Mind you, I haven't done any Android and/or iOS apps  with GWT yet.

Just goodle "GTW ios" for instance and you'll find the stuff you need.

Here's a "how-to" - note the date --> 2007.
http://code.google.com/intl/en/webtoolkit/articles/gwt-iphone.html
The article is for GWT 1.4. The current version is 2.4 and alot has 
changed (improved) since then.


And there's all sorts of additional libraries available for all kinds 
of development.

Smart GWT: http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/
GWT Mobile: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mobile-webkit/
Ext GWT: http://www.sencha.com/products/extgwt/
etc..

As for desktop apps, you could wrap your GWT with AIR :)

Hi John,
I do not have anything against Mac or Apple.
I just said that because in order to make my work, I'm forced to buy or

an iPad, an iPhone and an Android device.

Happy new year to you too.

You can do nearly all from windows.
Obviously from windows you cannot upload your brand new app to the apple 
store because you can do this only from a Mac (IMHO this is a really 
stupid and fascist thing).
However, while you develop, you can test your app on your iPad/iPhone by 
building them from Windows, only the final upload must be done by a Mac.
And just one final thing: your app is not converted in html 5, it is 
pure flash that runs on a air virtual machine on iOs.
The good news is that the air runtime is contained inside your app so 
you do not have to worry about nothing.
Instead in Android, you can do everything from Windows, moreover you can 
do all from within the Flash IDE (if you do not use native extensions).

when you need to do something /else/ than:
- displaying a video (even if now we can have thousands of video containers 
like quick'fail big'time and could argue that flash is still the best way to 
deliver video, but hey we have got fallbacks now lol)
- throwing dumb interfaces into 3D sliding cubes that bounce off the mouse/touch
- bells and whistles, bells and whistles, ...
- experiments: flash is a mature tech now, there aren't many roads left to 
explore.
- building interfaces with 3 big words and one huge text input
- spending tens of tens of hours of work trying to make your new code comply 
with the browsers ecosystem (is that ... a work ? er )
- fame, fame, fame and fame
^ that's the problem with Flash now: when you do some, you don't get fame back 
as 'you' used to get. But hey, seriously ? fame ?!?

... but if you want to be effective, build things that can actually be used by 
corporations or people who need to, flash is still a very good partner. It is 
reliable when you know it to the bone.

As an example, yesterday evening I started building a game from scratch. I 
already have the board tiles system working, I am now placing units, and will 
begin combats resolution in the afternoon.
All in one, less than a day I have more than a proto working.

I am not saying any other tech wouldn't let me do the exact same thing, but my 
mind is quite mono maniac, so I prefer using Flash from scratch to end, and 
with only one source I can almost deploy to any platform (except the Amiga, 
well ... that's a really sad news)

Nice part is when I will plug my game to haXe in order to make it try to morph 
into an html5 app (but that is just for the lulz)

Yet, I feel that Adobe is amazingly lost. I am happy that she left me, so I 
don't have to deal with the breakup (yea, lol, I am coward when it comes to 
letting someone go), but I am still fully happy using Flash :)

If you leave that chick, she can be all mine then.
With your new chicks can you easily make web apps, desktop apps, android 
apps and ios apps?

Already found mine. She's called GWT and she rocks. Still a bit rough 
around the edges, but she's getting there.
Now if Flex (FlashBuilder) would do the things GWT does, I'd be 
willing to take her back.
