Eh, well, we won't be doing anything for a while. Wanna get through a couple months of college first, get used to the new work levels of work load, and get a better understanding of computing and such through the course. Everything, at the moment, is just a pipe dream. You, have, however, created an interest in me for Flex, I've been looking into what it is. I'm actually a little lost with what it actually is. My brain is slow today. And the fact that Adobe is doing anything outside of Photoshop/buying out other firms is, quite frankly, shocking. |
Flex is basically Flash but with a programmer more in mind instead of an artist. It uses ActionScript and MXML(an xml type language for laying out visual elements). It is good because it runs on the Flash engine which is pretty much ubiquitous on the net. Actionscript is a quite extensive object oriented language. Pretty easy to map data from the front end to the back end as well. It plays very well with Java. Very easy to make visually compelling content. Probably wouldn't be good for anything computationally extensive.
