Flash and Silverlight, maybe 2 strangers passing in the crowd

flash-and-silverlight-maybe-2-strangers-passing-in-the-crowd

Top 10 Reasons : Why Flex wins over Silverlight :)

Ted Says:

1. Flex is available today and works.

2. Flex 2 is viewable in 85+% of web browsers, Flex 2 SWF files run in Flash Player 9.

3. You can use any HTTP Server and any backend technology (.NET,JAVA,PHP,Ruby,CF, Python) with Flex via XML, SOAP, Sockets, ZLIB, Etc.

4. Flex 2 has a mature and growing component set. There are lots of developers creating open source components for Flex and the source code for all components is available today in the Flex SDK. See: Flexbox, FlexLib, FlexComponents for details.

5. Flex does not integrate well with .NET on the backend. We are working on a great solution to make .NET integration seamless. Additionally strongly typed SOAP Web Services support coming in Flex 3 (very soon) including full support for .NET SOAP encodings.

6. Real-time data push with Binary Sockets using any TCP/IP Socket server. FTP/NNTP/SVN/POP/XMPP Example: http://webmessenger.yahoo.com

7. Graphical and Programatic skinning with Illustrator/Flash/Photoshop/CSS

8. There are many large companies actively developing RIA’s with Flex, from JPMorgan/Chase to Yahoo to Google to many Web 2.0 start-ups.

9. If you develop using Flex or AJAX you can port your app to the desktop using Apollo. Apollo allows you to build desktop applications for WIN/LIN/OSX deployed as a single .AIR file cross-platform. One toolset for Web RIA and Desktop RIA development.

10. Flex has gone fully open source Mozilla Public License. All compilers and framework will be available for extension and embedding within the Flex 3 SDK.

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED

> Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple
> creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding
> plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You
> can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white
> T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car
> mechanics tell you the truth.. The world is your urinal. You never
> have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is
just
> too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut
> on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress
> $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're
> talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically
> expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood
> all the time.
>
> Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about
> tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open
> all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of
> thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still
> be your friend.
>
> Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are
> more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You
> are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face
> stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe
> decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
>
> You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your
> big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all
> seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can
> "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice
> concerning growing a mustache.
>
> You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25
> minutes.
>
> No wonder men are happier.
>
> Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will
> enjoy reading

}

private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
_sprite.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0, 1);
_sprite.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
