Quoting Carlos Rovira <carlos.rov...@codeoscopic.com>:
Hi Michael, you probably are right and we should continue to evolve Flex to continue going ahead of other technologies like HTML. Maybe FalconJS could have sense as a new project to develop in OOP and output HTML5 based apps...something that HTML5 needs urgently since is its main problem IMHO. But this would need new people and focus on that target. Regarding Flex, our problem is basicaly unability to target mobile browsers. Something that could be overcome using AIR and deploying as a Native app...for some people a change of mind, but the same agressive that a change of technology (like going HTML5).
This is the SINGLE fact that remains a variable for me. I think targeting HTML5 for desktop browsers would be a joke. But creating something specifically for a mobile device that also was plugged into a native framework could be very compelling and if something was hashed out on a small prototype level. I certainty might entertain putting some time into this.
So I think the future of Flex can be brighter than many people want us to think...
Since I have diversified my development in other technologies, I a coming back to Apache Flex and the Flash Player with a different perspective. I have a project that will make Apache Flex look really good in the Android sector. I already know some inherit benefits of the Flex framework on mobile and want to push those farther. At the same time using native technologies as well.
