Elena, I'll be extremely happy to be able to use flex for mobile it would save me a lot of headache in layout and data architecture it is mature, modular boutique framework to my taste and yes of-course, anyone can choose what they want I'm not here to negate flex, but to surface a critical issue for its relevancy I'd love to see flex flourish. I ask this to open the discussion on mobile development. a discussion that would hopefully yield a direction that can match and surpass the current mobile development alternatives.
Justin, flex is far better development wise then feathers to my needs. feathers is aiming to add some ui capabilities to games, and my needs are list based/ screen based applications. this is far more suitable to build in flex and would take a lot less time and code sharing would indeed be a treat. When I'm talking about performance, I wasn't implying games first-person shooter syle, but screen transitions, lists swipes and easing.... general rendering and responsiveness Mark, your words are very reassuring. I'll be extremely happy to find out I was dead wrong and flex can pull through and as devices become stronger in processing power, the more relevant flex would be for mobile. I'll definitely give it a shot and report back. cheers everyone Ajar CasaVersa ~ <http://www.casaversa.com> ~ Travel for all { <https://www.facebook.com/CasaVersa.Home.Exchange> <https://twitter.com/CasaVersa> <http://pinterest.com/casaversa/> <http://casaversa.tumblr.com/> <http://www.scoop.it/t/casaversa> <https://plus.google.com/109417412479011946456> <http://www.linkedin.com/company/casaversa> <http://www.casaversa.com/blog/> Ajar Bahamonde | @__Ajar__ <https://twitter.com/__Ajar__> M: +972 544 966 104 @: ajar.interact...@gmail.com On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 11:35 AM, Elena Geller <elena.gel...@gmail.com>wrote: > I dare say, everybody can choose what he wants and what he really needs.
