[PR] Getting people excited about Flex
I was thinking: There's nothing quite like showing people quality working applications to convince them that a technology is a viable option for their own needs.
Should we have a featured page of the Flex website that has a list of featured applications? We could break it into categories of web apps, iOS apps and Android apps. Eventually HTML apps could join that list. Mobile apps are probably the most important, because no one knows what technology you used to create a mobile app…
What do you think?

Away 3D name checks Apache Flex as the technology they're going to use for
Away3D Builder.

ESRI has some slick (well to the GIS crowd anyway) samples for their flex API:

1) There is an area on the spoon.as site to showcase apps and 2) this content is terrific to put on the Apache Flex website, too. What we lack is someone providing their apps compiled to runtime or compiled in 4.9 for another target & allowing key parts of the source to be shown publicly along with a written description of what the app does. If you have screen shots, a written description of what the app does, and some example code you are willing to let others see, please provide it. I believe the project would use your app.
3) Third, we have also been requesting that someone write code examples to help improve the documentation of the new features in 4.9, and the new components that have been written that go beyond the Adobe Flex SDKs. If you have code examples that you'd like to contribute to the documentation, we would love to use your work. This type of training documentation would really help newbies become interested in using the language.

Yeah. App startup time is always a struggle. With PrintUI the biggest wait is very often waiting for fonts to load. Depending on the template that can add up to a couple of MB of data or more…
There's a few optimizations I still plan on doing there, and if we had a sizable persistent cache, that would help tons at least on subsequent app loads…

Last year i've worked for M6, a french TV channel, we made a full Flex website ( Flex 4.6 ) :
http://www.m6replay.fr
It's a good example of "graphic" application : clean UI, lot of transitions, Facebook Open Graph integration, premium video features…
You can access to most of the features without any login, except perhaps for some of the videos if you are not in France.

Thanks, i'll look into it.
Been playing around with it myself and its a bit more basic than i
remember... i would hope that there's enough quality stuff out there
that mine isn't needed.

That app sounds interesting, but when I visit that URL the app stays stuck
on the loading screen, it says 'initialising', but after several minutes
still nothing has happened.
Using Chrome 26 Canary with FP 11.6 on windows 8 pro.

Re: [PR] Getting people excited about Flex
Posted by Johan Kustermans <jo...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
I have been following the mailing list from the start and I am still on the
fence between choosing Flex, going the javascript way,
sticking to the Java way of doing things (jsf with a framework like
Primefaces can serve a lot of purposes) or look for another option.
JavaFX shows promise from a technical point of view (databinding is way too
cumbersome though) but will it ever catch on?
Dart as a language and development ecosystem is evolving quite nicely but
is lacking a powerful set of out of the box GUI components. Their web
component library is also actively being developed but again, this will
take another year or two to evolve to a state comparable to that of Flex
imo.
Typescript or javascript Harmony could be promising in combination with Web
Components but still a lot of work has to be done.
>From my point of view (building enterprise applications with a Java back
end) the following combination of properties are important to Flex
1. Like Om: Access to a real object oriented language. Makes code
maintenance a
lot easier. And it is build into the language, no need to choose a
framework to tho this. This is a major one.
2. A nice component based model with easy databinding using MXML. The fact
that you can define a component in MXML and have it immediately integrated
in your development ecosystem is a major bonus. How long will it take for
web components to reach that level?
3. Fluent connection to a server backend thanks to Granite Data Services
(we use Spring) and the AMF protocol.
4. Web based
5. From time to time the ease of plugging in certain interactivity is
second to none with Flex. We needed a charting component that shows several
data lines (not to big a deal with recent js frameworks) but in orde to
increase productivity the users desperately wanted to drag and drop
datapoints in these charts to adjust their forecasts. This was pretty easy
to achieve with Flex.
6. It builds around a standard.
7. The fact that item renderers / item editors are built into the
framework. From time to time you see a plea to add virtual components to
the web components specification ...
I expect that next versions of javascript in combination with HTML 5 and
Web components will achieve the same level of development and
maintenance experience (or better, mutation observers spring to mind). But
it will take a lot of time to get there. The same applies to Dart if it
ever succeeds,which I hope it does.

These the kind of of apps that are consumer focused and hence publicly
reachable. I wish we could show the numerous enterprise apps Flex
developers have built over the years.

Here are the reasons for chosing Flex over HTML/JS in my point of view.
1. Works same across all browsers and major operating systems. Reduces
development and QA efforts.
2. Access to a real object oriented language. Makes code maintenance a
lot easier.
3. Multiple concurrent file uploads.
4. True vector graphics and bitmap processing.
5. Access to local file system
6. Access to a real profiler
7. Integration with Maven
8. Integration with an established unit testing framework (FlexUnit)
9. Runtime performance (from my personal experience) is better
10. Access to TLF which is supported by Indesign as well (print fidelity
is very important for web to print solutions)
11. Test automation (there are pain points, but works well for most cases)
12. Flex is not just a collection of great components/effects/styles, it
is a fully extensible framework and an SDK. Cant beat that.
13. Can deploy as a desktop or mobile app with negligible extra work. (If
the app is architected with this in mind)
14. Access to microphone and camera
15. Local storage support that is expandable if user agrees.
I can go on, but I will stop here. Most apps I build need almost all of
the above mentioned features. I am sure that you can come up with a
sorta-can-do for each item above in any given JS framework or a latest
version of chrome or a nightly build of firefox. But if you want all of
the above and want to have them same across browsers and operating systems,
Flex is the way to go.

That is an apples to oranges comparison. We are talking about using Flex
to create web applications, not designing websites. I wouldnt recommend
using Flex for building websites.

Our experience is that Flex (on Flash) can still find it's place on
public websites in various apps for generating/editing visual or sound
content.
Ability to efficiently process binary data and vector graphics on the
client side still puts it far ahead of solutions running on bianco
browser engine.
Mobile can be tricky, but with proper code optimizations it's possible
to create high quality mobile apps.
We just delivered an enterprise mobile app with complex UI (iPad,
Android) for a client that will be used for managing board meetings by
corporations and governments.
It was built on 4.6 but we will switch to 4.9 soon and provide a link
for a showcase when they publish it.
Web apps are also a place where Flex can play it's game on a public web.
We use it in our startup project for web and tablet apps.
Our main gains were on development cost and performance.
A really popular JavaScript app of our competitor is miles away in
performance.
We are launching soon and will be happy to share a link for showcase.
Cheers,
Tomislav

I dunno, Alex. That Sherwin-Williams color visualizer is pretty slick.
The Behr color picker *could* be reproduced in JS/CSS/HTML but it would not
be easy.
The Big Blue Button certainly seems like a nicer experience than
GoToMeeting.
But in general, to address your point, Flex isn't for websites. It's
primary purpose is enterprise applications - though now it's good for
mobile, too.
Do we want corporations who will allow their logo to be placed on the Flex
website with some kind of statement to the effect that they use Flex for
their internal apps?

Re: [PR] Getting people excited about Flex

For PrintUI, Flex was really the only choice.
Why? TLF. Fidelity of text rendering and consistency with InDesign server was critical, and no other technology competes…
The app is pretty complex as well with probably over 100 classes. (Maybe more. I never counted…) Doing that in most HTML frameworks would be -- not fun. In terms of the complexity, the only other framework that would appeal to me is probably GWT.

Re: [PR] Getting people excited about Flex
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
Oh yeah.
I do a lot of work around Creative Suite extensibility. Flex is a must there. (It's a special strain of Adobe Flex, but Flex nevertheless.) The productivity gains by being able to extend the creative apps with Flex is awesome. I have been able to churn out some pretty impressive panel extensions in a matter of hours…

Re: [PR] Getting people excited about Flex
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
Thanks Om and others who posted links, it is always rewarding to me to see
these end products.
So, it looks like print and photo publishers, paint manufacturers and
video/video conferencing providers have chosen Flex. My next question is:
why? Honestly, I have a hard time telling if there is some key aspect of
the site that made Flex the better choice over HTML, especially if you had
to start today. When I saw Nick's revamp of our site, I thought it was
visually on the same level as these sites.

A couple of projects that I was involved with in the past - does not
require login to launch. You could work off of your pictures from your
desktop or chose to login to one of the providers listed (facebook, etc.)

Im happy for this small web app (and source code) to be used if its
deemed appropriate: http://mandelbrot-explorer.com/ - it was built
pre-Apache but is spark so i can easily update it to 4.9

It would definitely be great to get some apps for the showcase.
The Adobe Flex showcase is still up, but it suffers from the fact that most apps require a login so most of what you have are screenshots.
I sent a screenshot of PrintUI to Infoworld, and apps like that would be nice to have in a showcase.
One thing I've been pondering is that what the killer showcase app would be. Even PrintUI requires a healthy wait at startup (at least at home over DSL) and the task to perform takes "a while" so most folks won't really try it to completion and get a good feel for what it can do.
Startup time is an important part of the new framework I'm working on so that public-facing apps over slower connections startup reasonably quickly, but it I am still searching for a task that the public can accomplish that doesn't require money, logins, several steps, etc, but showcases any advantages of Flex.
That said, the static screenshots and even some of these dynamic apps are becoming easier to do in HTML. So really, maybe developer productivity is our best selling point these days? Or is it the ability to use structured programming?

Well, you can feel free to use PrintUI.com in both capacities… ;-)
Anyone on the dev list who has permission to showcase apps, can just post them here as a starting point for the list.

I'd love to see something like this on the website. The only problem was
seeding the list. Heck, I couldn't even get 6 companies to allow us to use
their logos to say that they use Apache Flex to put on our website...

Yes, this sounds good. I think, on the old flex.org page there was also a showcase section. And everybody could see, what's possible with Flex.
And we should not forget the category desktop AIR apps. And maybe "categorize" these apps into topics (or tags - what does the application).
