What is Adobe Flex?
Adobe Flex is a highly productive, open source application
framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that
deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and devices. It provides a
modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common
design patterns suitable for developers from many backgrounds
Flex allows us developers to build and create intuitive, interactive, visual
applications for the web and desktop. Exciting applications in Flex give the
end user a more satisfying experience while browsing the site and also the owner
of the site hopefully more profit.
Applications built with Flex run using Adobe Flash Player
and can also be built to run on the desktop using Adobe AIR. This allows Flex
applications to run consistently in all the major browsers and operating
systems. With 98% of internet connected computers having Flash Player 9
installed, this creates a massive audience for these applications to be run.
