All Over Software Jobs: Re: [flexcoders] You are the product

Monday, December 19, 2011

The general consensus is that

a. People hate Flash. ( dont really know why!!! after reading all the HTML 5 vs Flash articles... ) / Developers hate javascript ( atleast the people who like the OOP paradigm! ).

b. Developers love AS3. ( Its the next best thing to chocolate! ) / People love nice UI.

The holy grail is to create something that "doesnt require flash" but can be "programmed with as3" or something similiar and runs on a browser "without any plugin".

Hello to you all!

Removing Flash Player from the picture, require use a client side technology available in most devices.

HTML5 will require, at least, javascript. Since 99 I never really trust javascript because the cross-browser compatibility.
Anyone care to illustrate to me what change since then?
Do browsers in other devices really stick with "one version" of javascript?
If between browsers, under windows, we don´t got a javascript running without a hole bunch of workarounds, what is the difference for others devices?

You don´t wanna flash? I can understand that. But you will need something real to get the juice. You will need RIA.

JavaFX can be an option. Silverlight already is, once the win8 got to devices. But none of then will work on iOS. Probably only silverlight will work on win8/metro ( 'will not run plugins... a side the ones from microsoft' ).

I will stick with flash/flex for the time being and still waiting on the "next best thing" involving RIA and Web.

Hmmm. I doubt that would be possible.

The problem has never been with compiling the code as such. Its about how the compiled code is finally "used". Since we are going to be replacing / removing the Flash Player from the picture, whether we compile the code on the server end or compile the code on the client end it really doesnt matter.

Hmm… if Falcon is 10x faster than the previous compiler – could you incrementally feed it and have it emit to the browser? Kind of like a progressive download?

All that adobe needs to do is, start attempting to replace the current JS with AS3.
Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language. Now can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to JavaScript is a step back.. a big one.
If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java apps and they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you
still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and whatnot. You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone
write a single line of it !
As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar, I'd be all over it.
And it can be done, haXe already does that.
