Good move by Adobe: Free Flex Framework SDK and Flex Enterprise Services
02 Feb 2006I am bit late to blog about the announcement that Adobe has made about free Adobe Flex framework SDK and FES . But I wanted to express what I feel about this announcement.
I think, this is another great move by Adobe after labs announcement.
- It would make many more developers to join the gang of Flex developers.
- It would hopefully take down some traffic on flexcoders. And people would now ask better/non-repeat/tough questions.
- It would help Flex developers to come up with great components/applications based on Flex framework.
- It would certainly make Adobe more respectable among Open-Source community. I know, this announcement is not about making code Open-Source but people, who like to dig into source code, would love this announcement.
- It would allow developers to learn about different patterns and techniques used to make this awesome framework/ui-toolkit.
- Developers would be able to suggest better techniques/algorithm. It would help Adobe to make Flex framework more stable and mature.
I think, there would be some limitations in free FES, you can read details on Mark Anders' blog.
