Hello Apache Flex. My name is Ted Patrick, I run developer relations at Sencha and formerly worked at Adobe on Flex as an evangelist and have used Flash since it was FutureSplash and Flex since 1.5.
I thought I might clarify some things... We launched a marketing campaign to talk to Flex developers about exploring Sencha frameworks for HTML5 application development. Prior to my joining Sencha, a document was created to compare Flex vs ExtJS. The document was written 6 months ago and contains inaccuracies in time and author perspective. Yesterday Jeffrey pointed out the PDF to me on twitter and highlighted some inaccuracies. Rather than have an inaccurate document create confusion, defensiveness, and conspiracy theories, I had the document removed. I am rewriting the document from scratch to be launched during the webinar. I have a deep respect for Flex, it is great technology. Flex brought me great personal success and I am a better software developer for knowing and evolving with it. (End of sentence) Within the upcoming webinar ( http://pages.sencha.com/flex-to-sencha-webinar.html?ls=sencha_twitter&ss=Flex2SenchaWebinar ) and throughout our campaign you will not hear me (or anyone else at Sencha) say one negative thing about Flex. We will be focused on exposing Sencha's frameworks to Flex developers looking to embrace HTML5 for applications. Simple as that. If you have any questions or complains, please reach out to me directly at ted.patr...@sencha.com. My only ask is... Please stay laser focused on making Apache Flex kick ass. Regards, Ted Patrick Developer Relations Sencha
