Hi We are just completing a similarly project XML content flex to build screens, you could keep the backend simple and using php with a database this will work well, saying that we build a simple nodeJS server and used mongoDB, for the database and it has worked very well, as we make small changes to the database mongoBD accommodates with out any problem
In the end we build a app to allow the teacher to manage the XML, then I created a generator to take teacher created content in to what I needed for XML to drive the app Happy to share out server code and experance, contact me directly if you want anything Sent from my iPad > On 24 Aug 2014, at 17:25, "Tintin" <1955.mille.mig...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Hello > > I am at the very beginning of a new project to develop a Flex UI to be > placed within a web page for accessing training content.
