Adobe smartly chose Eclipse as their IDE platform, which is really nice.<br><br>I suppose if you\'re tied into using all Microsoft technologies you\'ll consider going the WPF/E route, but my recommendation would be choose your backend carefully, whether it\'s Java or a Microsoft managed code environment, and then choose something like Adobe Flex for the front-end. If you need to stay all open-source, consider Open Laszlo (<a href="http://www.openlaszlo.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.openlaszlo.org/</a>) which is very cool too.<br><br>Keep your data and presentation layer as separate and abstracted as possible. This way you\'ll also be able to shift into using Adobe\'s new Apollo should an offline component be required.<br><br>Whether or not WPF/E is cool or amazing or better than sliced bread, it will be very difficult to combat the penetration that Adobe already has. And, considering the slow but steady growth of Macs, it seems foolish to lock yourself in to a platform that, from the beginning, will be predominently focused on Windows and Windows alone.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9671598" class="dsq-comment-message">Flash is a great platform for building rich internet applications. We used Adobe Flex 2 to build Eyejot\'s client-facing web UI and loved the development environment, the richness of the tools and the fact that our platform is instantly compatible with multiple operating systems and browsers. Doing the same thing, with the same "richness" we desired in our UI would have been very difficult without Flash and generator tools like Flex.<br><br>While WPF/E may show great promise and be attractive to shops requiring an end-to-end Microsoft solution, it will be hard to beat Flash\'s overwhelming presence in the field. A better approach for those development projects might be, instead, to rely upon Microsoft\'s managed code products on the back-end, like C#, to generate data that\'s delivered to Flex-built Flash apps on the client-side. We did something similar at Eyejot where all our data is generated and managed by our Java-based backend and our Flex apps map and display and manage data on the client side.<br><br>In terms of open source alternatives, Open Laszlo is a great alternative to Flex and produces not only Flash compatible files but also DHTML that, in many cases, can behaves very similar to the native Flash interfaces.

This is something the evangelist and p&amp;p teams are aware of but I have not heard how they plan to address it.<br><br>Visual design and interaction design have not been their central theme and message, and while MS is new to delivering and communicating it, hopefully they get there before or soon after Expression Studio and WPF/E ships.

Mac is getting better and with the WPF strategy they forget that 90% of designers are on macs and dont plan on changing and the fact that vector based design SUCKS compared to photoshop filters and effects that are bitmap effects and the fact that WPF has the most excruciating support for bitmap effects and its not even "recommended" that you use these because it will affect performance heavily.<br><br>Designers are already asking how to take their photoshop designs and integrate them into WPF apps. It\'s like a no contest in that arena. Designers have to change their platform and favorite tools just to design WPF apps. Yeaaaaaaa keep dreaming.<br><br>Anyway - Adobe gets the love in the designer arena and the flex skinning mechanisms rule. Also - 3d support? Have you seen papervision 3d? This thing rocks and puts 3d at the potentiality of every flex/flash developer -- not hardware based, but ripping fast because of how much cpus have evolved these days and its open source, works on mac, linux and windows because of the flash 9 player.

These grassroots developers have been working with Flash for years and are now creating a solid groundswell of a community.<br><br>At least, that\'s what I see from my friends in Argentina, Ireland, and London. They run Apache on Linux on their servers for next to nothing. They pirate Flash to develop within. And they hit the ground running... And they did that 2-4 years ago.<br><br>It\'s America that\'s just figuring out that Flash isn\'t a problem, that it doesn\'t have to be primarily an animation tool. I\'m consistently blown away by how cool some of their sites are. They don\'t look like "Flash sites" that us Americans are used to either.</div>\

A complex Flex app will make even the hardiest workstation groan, and can swell to enormous size. WPF runs crisply and quietly, rarely taxing system resources even in advanced 3D simulations and because it offloads much of the work to the runtime, downloads tend to be pretty compact.<br><br>So at the risk of alienating my non XP and Vista users, I choose to concentrate on XAML. For developers however, the competition between Adobe and Microsoft represents a win-win situation. The architectures of Flex and WPF are so similar because of the simplicity that has eveolved in developement paradigms: using an xml-based system for scripting user interaction. I just personally prefer XAML to MXML on a purely functional and aesthetic level, but I know that if a client is biased toward one or the other technology, porting an entire application will prove quite easy due to the RAD functionality built into each.</div>\

I just got back from a round the world trip where I spoke to dozens of developers in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, China and Brazil about the types of platforms they\'re using for development. Guess what? Flash came up about twice and in those cases it was referred to as tools for designers not "me." You can try to argue that we didn\'t talk to the right people but all I can say is that we looked at a broad cross-section of developers who were building apps using .NET, Java, Php, Ruby etc and Flash does not come up.</div>\

I\'m not buying one, (there went my fanboy status), because I like Sprint, they\'ve been good to me, they ARE good to me, and I need things the iPhone (so far) doesn\'t do. Besides, my phone works, why should I get a new one.<br><br>Secondly, Jobs has not said "no third party applications". (Yes, I know, everyone thinks that, but alas, not true.) What he has said is that Apple needs to keep control over what goes on the phone. (He also said something stupid about a bad application taking down a cell network. Yeesh. Moron.) Let\'s see, I support Treos and Windows Mobile Phones. I\'ve seen bad applications force 3-4x daily soft resets of various WM5 phones, (only took new phones / massive firmware upgrades to fix. Yay), turn Treos into bricks, (okay, not hard), and generally, make the phones unusable.<br><br>If you\'re trying to get me to agree that Apple should allow the same kind of buggy shit onto the iPhone that you see on Treos and WM devices, sorry, wrong tree, go bark somewhere else.<br><br>But again, it\'s vapor, and no one has any useful information on it. I will say that if the browser support on it is as decent as it looks, the folks doing AJAX and other similar applications are going to be quite pleased, because lemme tell you, Pocket IE and whatever the fuck is on the Palm OS suck ass on a stick. Haven\'t tried Opera yet.<br><br>It\'s a phone, you\'re pretty much always on the network. Web applications will work well there. So far, third party fat applications have been a continual pain in my ass. So I don\'t really see a problem in limiting them.</div>\
