Why is Flex so awesome ?

[Mrinal Wadhwa]

Hi Everyone,

Its time to have some fun !!
We have 2 free Flex 3 Certification vouchers to give away to the community here on Bangalore Flex User Group (courtesy Adobe) ... so we thought lets have a contest

If you would like to win a free voucher to take the Flex 3 Certification .. post a reply to this thread with the answer to this question .. 


Why is Flex so awesome ?
Why is Flex the best damn UI framework? Why do you love it so much? Why can't you live without it ?



The 2 most interesting, witty and entertaining answers win !!  
Who decides?  the UG managers

There is one small catch though ... the vouchers we have expire by 30th September .. so if you win you will have to take the test before 30th

Even if you don't want the vouchers, I think it'll be fun to know why we all love Flex so much :)

I love flex 'cos i see a lot of similarity between my son and flex...

he is a very robust application who can attractively visualizes
complex data sets
he can engage visitors and let them feel empowered
he is the technology of the future
he works on all major platforms and users don't need to install
anything
Audio and video is integrated in him, allowing even greater
interaction

no wonder i love them both :-)

cheers,
Rajesh

Hi Mrinal,
Why is Flex so awesome, instead of worry about getting database
results in a flash CS 4 data-grid with CF, I can do it with ease with
Flex and start to concentrate on the application, and not debugging!

I am just enjoying when I am working on flex and Action script not
only me peoples who come to flex sure they will enjoy ,
here are some of the reassons,

The Rich UI, variety of Security protocols, ability to run on
any platform , desktop enabled (AIR), search engine indexable, can
easily plug in to any web page, open source sdk, variety of open
source component which makes our life more easier, a complete IDE
which helps us to develop things faster, Flex won’t see any partiality
to communicate (supports all technologies java, .net, php, CF, etc),
Flex has a big set of relatives who are always ready to help us (flex
community around the world).

Thanks
Prabhu

Hi Mrinal

My Flex Thoughts

Flex Is Awesome, since its architecture is so robust and flexible that it can be enhanced and extended to great extends to do miracles without worrying about which platform, browser to target etc., its more expressive and dynamic, it has a strong support in the form of internal components within and around the world in the form of enthusiastic flex developers which is increasing day by day, flex attracts and accepts any kind of developers towards it like a powerful magnet.

Working with Flex to me is spending time with Girlfriend.

The way I enjoy the time spent with my GF the same way I enjoy with Flex too.

As my GF has lots of qualities, Flex too have lots of qualities like The prebuilt components in Flex Builder are too good. The source and Design view are far better than others. The portability, Flexibility, security, support to many technology(java, .net, php, CF, etc)……

 

The Help content plus the study material available (Flex in a week Videos, TourDeFlex)are awesome.

As I admire the looks, beauty of my GF the same things I find in the Flex Applications. i.e. obsessed with richness. That’s why it’s RIA.

I am so impressed with Flex so that I Kept My orkut name as sandeep in love with RIA.

My relation with Flex is now 6 months. First I thought it’s affection but later I realized its Love.

Now a days I am only Flexing.

If I get certificate vouchers it will be like I got the permission to marry my Dream Girl. So let me marry Flex.

At last I can say only one thing

“It’s easy to start but hard to stop.”

I stand on top of the mountain,  and look at them.
I flex my muscles and cry for them.

I hear the events and thy listeners,
I command the interfaces and also the classes,
I see no abstract, i fear no pattern,
I am the source to thy mate.

Hi Friends,

 

I am very happy to share my opinion about my Favourite Flex.

 

Flex is awesome : Flex provides a very rich look to the web applications, using Flex we can create amazing dashboards for the business people.(Excellent data visualisation).

 

Flex the best UI Framework : Since Flex has so many built in components that allows the to easily making use of it by just dragging and dropping it. So i consider the Flex is the best UI framework.

 

I love Flex so much : because i started my carrier in Flex(from June 2007), still working on it, developed many Flex, AIR applications, i enjoyed a lot while developing all the applications.Flex lead me to get good position in my life so i love it so much.

 

I cant be without flex , because it is like my heart , wants to develop many amazing applications using it. I want to become an architect in flex, so i cant be without Flex.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Manimaran.
