As long as you create a highly customized skin in Flex, I don't think your clients can tell if it is made by Flex or sth else, unless the clients demand for source code reviewing. In that case, why bother developing apps for certain clients, you could totally develop greate apps in your own way and sell them thru AppStore by yourself.

@DarkStone I do love it, and I do native mobile development, but when the client is adamant about not using Flash in any way, shape or form, there's not much I can do.

If you still love Flex in your heart, you should not abandon it, you should change your job to mobile native application development, cuz AIR 3.2 runs very fast on iOS now. I see a bright future of Apache Flex, believe in it, don't give up!

@Keyle I completely agree. I was the first to call bullshit on the HTML 5 hype train and still am. However, my clients ultimately get to make the call on platforms. I can, and do, make my opinions and recommendations clear. But at the end of the day, if they decide they absolutely don't want to use Flash / Flex, I've got no choice but to go along with their demands. That or walk away from the project.

I think you will come back... I mean, enjoy your trip in the past. I seriously admire whoever is going to pull off enterprise software in html 5. And I mean, proper enterprise software, with hundreds of screens and dynamic everything. I certainly tried and came back with my tail between my legs.

Let me put it this way. Adobe = bad. AS3 = good.

While I'm excited about Stage3D, games are not really part of my core competency, nor does my company offer game development as a service. If I were a game developer, however, I'd be very excited about Stage3D.

I hope this would not happen to me. I still use Flex (Mobile/AIR) for many cases. I have looked into other frameworks such as Titanium, Corona, etc;

I am counting on Stage3D not give any reduction in quality all the while targeting every Mobile.

Testing.

Seeing already a few "test" posts, I would assume this is posted as soon as I connect to Facebook, right? In that case, sorry for the "spam". :)

[Edit]
OK, as I expected. Have you changed from a simple Facebook Connect option ("Readers should see a Facebook login button below comment forms") to Disqus since this post was published?

Aren't the interwebs a great thing?

Re: MoodSwing: Status Updating for Quicksilver

I was using Spotlight for a while but it was just to slow, QuickSilver is super fast! Are you having problems with speed with spotlight!

Re: MoodSwing: Status Updating for Quicksilver

bryanbartow — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:15:14 -0000

Hope it works for you. I had to give up on QS a long time ago and just rely on Spotlight now.

Works great if it is an toast image file made as ISO9660 or hybrid.

Re: Love Letter to Flex 4 and Flash Builder

Flexicious — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:30:55 -0000

Well, depends on what you compare it to - obviously 4 will be better than 3, because it adds to it, while not taking anything away... most of us walked into Flex bloodied and distraught with writing an unhealthy amount of JavaScript code and making it work in a dozen different versions of different browsers, and this was when there was no JQuery.. Flex 4, as awesome as it is, Flex 3 has its place in our hearts and minds!

Re: Love Letter to Flex 4 and Flash Builder

bryanbartow — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 00:00:56 -0000

The more I use it the more I love it and the more I despise Flex 3.

I found this post when I searched "I love flex4" on Google. Add me (and our entire team) to the list of people who LOVE Flex 4.

I have to agree with you, Maruicio. At this point, I've seen nothing that leads me to believe I could recommend building something in HTML 5 to my clients. I'm completely open, however, if someone can show me real working examples and dev tools.

Re: A Few Questions on HTML 5

bryanbartow — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:38:03 -0000

I can't get it to work properly in any of my browsers on Mac OS X 10.6.

I saw the same using Firefox 3.5. It only worked after reloading the page 2x. CPU usage while drawing was 50%+ (the fans even started while using it). Also:

- 6500+ lines for this?
- This is not a bad ass app...
- Use this or that version of browser?

It seems it has a long way to go. I will only consider HTML 5 to my corporate customers if:

- It has very good designing, development,debugging and profiling tools.
- It executes in 90% of the desktop computers worldwide without any code change.
- It can do the same or better as Adobe Flex, our current RIA tool/platform based on Flash 10.
- It is able to create applications that can grow to ERP like dimensions with thousands of runtime modules and libraries.
- It has a very short development time or a better features/cost/time ratio.
- It has native support for REST and Web Services.
