为什么选择Flex而不选择Ajax－Newbie asks why Flex

为什么选择Flex而不选择Ajax－Newbie asks why Flex (转)

对企业系统架构的UI选用一直十分地困惑，又是标签，又是ajax等等。之后朋友跟我说应该学XUI，一句话——烦透了！今天看到关于FLEX的一篇文章，大家讨论一下，它的结局会是怎么样的，也正好作为本人的借鉴！（已经迷失方向了，呵呵）

以下是引用内容：
一位名叫mabrams_us 的网友在flexcoders的mailinglist中征求大家对使用flex的意见（why one should invest in learning Flex as a career move opposed to focusing on other technologies.）
于是有两位网友作了精彩回答，我认为比较经典，现在摘出来给大家分享。

boy_trike :
let me give you some of the reasons why I have decided to embrace FLEX as our featured
development tool (notice I did not say RIA tool, but development tool.) I have been
building custom data-centric solutions for about a zillion years (ok, over 30 anyway) and
always am on the lookout for a new and better tool. My friends call me "database of the
month club" since I keep trying, switching, switching back from all of the latest and
greatest solutions. (Tried AJAX, but did not find the right toolset yet.). The reasons are:

FLEX FEATURES
Flex's main advantage is the agility it adds to building a rich user interface with database
connectivity.

Performance is very good

Can use external style sheets
o Allows a graphic artist to work on the UI
o Easy customization

Any object can move, be resized, skinned, wiped
o Better use of screen real-estate
o Can eliminate overlapping windows
o Users attention can be focused / directed

Screen Independent - Run Anywhere
o PC
o Web
o Phone???

Open / extensible
o Expect library of components to be released
o Can connect to other server objects
o Can connect to Web services
o Eclipse IDE is open and expandable

Adobe / Macromedia
o Support / Training
o Inexpensive Toolkit
o Free Runtime

Good luck with whatever you decide to embrace, but DO embrace it. (as someone once
asked me, how can a computer programmer drive a Porsche? I said its easy, just be the
best at something!
