The SDK has always been opensource http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63211 The SDK has been open source for a while now. Only now. It will be maintained by one govening body. That's actually a good thing. I just love it when people make attempts at misdirection.

You can make much more with Java Script BECAUSE it's not type bound! You can make so much "shit" with it. Look at all the Frameworks using JS. Being open means, that you accept the fact, JS is "IN" and you need to use...]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:50:07 -0500 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:50:07 -0500 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:50:07 -0500 Nov 14, 2011 Megaxx Again 1 Jerk http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63211 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:23:58 -0500 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:23:58 -0500 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:23:58 -0500 Nov 14, 2011 Megaxx Again 0 Who writes the checks !! http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63211 Those are your arguments against using Flex.

It is proprietary, needs plugin, does not produce html. The web's lingua franca is html+css and we shouldn't fragment it. It is possible to consider either improving js or...]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:58:20 -0500 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:58:20 -0500 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:58:20 -0500 Nov 11, 2011 NA NA 1 What does this do for me ?? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63211 In my opinion. Client side technology should stay on the client. I have not seen anything better at giving the end user a compelling and inuittive UI as Flex/ActionScript.
