Adobe AIR and the API Feedburner: reloaded
Tuesday, 18 November, 2008I rush of high tutorial Napolux, Flex 3, Adobe AIR and the Feedburner API, which shows how to write a simple application (or widget) using Adobe AIR Flex 3, to show how the exact same thing using Adobe Flash CS3. If you wish, also, you can use the extension for creating Adobe AIR applications. It is not necessary for the purposes of this tutorial, build the application executable as AIR, you can use the code proposed as a simple Flash movie from "affixed" to your Web pages.
Flex vs Flash
Although Adobe AIR appreciate how technology and how it was implemented in platforms HTML (Dreamweaver), Flash and Flex, are not "yet" quite well disposed towards Flex! I do not make a comparison with Flash Flex, despite many common features but also many differences. But I did not quite appreciate the political Adobe on this spinoff sometimes nonsensical. I would have preferred, instead, creating a unique environment (Flax) development and not this "useless" separation. Moreover, as a good programmer, those too "visual" I do not much like Flex and it seems destined to become dangerously similar to Visual Basic, which among other very well and know that I worked for many years. In short, Flex I really do not understand and I did not understand what Adobe wants to do with this branch. If Flex is listed as the ideal environment to write RIA what the fate of Flash? All the features of Flex, actually not available "directly" in Flash, could - if you want - be included without forcing to buy multiple licenses to develop - in the end - the exact same thing.
