Flex Shows Potential under Apache Software Foundation


Internet today has become a very competitive place for businesses to thrive. For a business to set itself up in the web platform the innovative ideas which needs to be incorporated in order to attract the audience is much required. Integrating Rich Internet Applications with a business’s website makes it look appealing to the users so that the site’s traffic will get increased. 

Flex programmers have the ability to integrate various such Applications by using the different Flex frameworks and tools in a customized way. Each and every business might need an approach which might suit its attributes in an optimal way. One type of website which might inspire a Flex programmer might not help in developing a web based application for a different business platform as the goal and target of each and every business may differ extensively.

As the Flex platform has gone from incubating stage into a full-fledged top project at the Apache Software Foundation the Rich aspects which can be provided by the Flex developer to the project he/she is developing is highly enhanced. The Flex developers can work side by side with richer applications which can be integrated with simple and straightforward tasks. There used to be a time when web development was considered to be a very complicated process where for each and every change that needs to be done in the website needs the assistance of a developer. But with the advent of content managements systems such as Magento, Joomla etc the admin of the website has widened access. For minimalist changes which involves the content of the website the admin himself or herself can make the changes and updates the website with much ease.

The backward compatibility of the newest version of Flex is also a very huge advantage as programmers working on projects using the older versions of Flex can update their projects automatically into the new version and though many Flex developers are apprehensive about the version of Flex which going to be released by the Apache Software Foundation internal revelations have promised the release of a platform which is flexible and sophisticated. With the development of other platforms for web developing growing rapidly the stand Flex had decreased but with the developments of scripting using the ActionScript platform. Flex is a full-fledged framework where enhanced media can be integrated into projects which can be made more appealing to users. This being a very vital aspect of web developments for sustaining the user experience for converting visitors into potential customers.

The bottom line is Flex is a growing development where the potential for it to grow during these times of extensive need for web development is rapidly on the rise. With ASF taking Flex under its wings it is expected of Flex to become a highly evolved platform.
