It's been fantastic 2.5 years having an association with Flex technology. The experience started way back in mid 2008 when we had prepared an app using DOJO , JSP's etc , and to our dismay the cross browser compatibility issues were just never ending. One fix used to worsen it in another browser.The client was furious when the browser hung during an important demo due to some document node error . Instantly the client was advised to use Flex by some of his fren. And then we had to learn Flex in a fortnight.
The news we had was Flex is something that runs on flash.. so our initial mindset was , wud i have to learn flash.. which we weren't ready for at all. Somehow we started coding small POC's just to check how easy it was working with Flex. We then a training arranged from a Adobe trainer for 5 entire days and boom .. we were into Flex full time. We ate , sat , slept flex in office .. day and night and got the entire app built again into Flex. Those 2 months with the amazing team of Flex , Java and DB guys were best of times.
With time Flex developed quite good expertise in Flex . Soon started training a batch of 20 developers whose questions amazed me and made me learn more of Flex. Used to read lot of blogs specially of Sujit Reddy , Anandvardhan.There were quite many interactions with other Flex apprentice on various forums. I always felt should also start bloggin .. but the idea never took off. Disappointed couldn't make it to a Flex session of Sujit Reddy in Pune Cogni office. Was tied up with project pressures.. else wud never let such a chance go by to meet him in person.. Keeping fingers crossed .. hoping to meet some Flex names soon..
All in all i wud keep bloggin about my Flex experiences , day to day problems and solutions i face while developing with Adobe Flex Gumbo and Moxie.. Keep reading ..
