    Apache Flex is an open-source SDK used to make rich Internet applications. It's developed with Action Script and MXML and works particularly well with Android and iOS ecosystems. Any flash-based application framework, such as Eclipse or the Flash above Builder, can be used to implement this. Free is best for mobile app developers, but suppose you have concerns, and consider Apache Flex's development team welcomes any questions via email.

    Well suited: for interfaces between machines data and applications. Made as a service. For web applications in factories where you don't have access to thick clients due to the environment. not well suited: quick measurements and fast data transitions between different applications. When time dependency is needed, then you better can choose other solutions.

    • It has a great documentation so new or experienced, you appreciate quick access to quality information
    • It’s very fast, uses less memory than initially expected that has decreased our costs after moving from python
    • It speaks the language of the design patterns really well, so our backend apps are written fast together and connect to frontend systems flawlessly

    Cons
    Apache
    • It's heavy as it needs to load the Flash plugin first before rendering anything to the user.
    • Not future ready as there is no support for mobile and tablet platforms.

    • Net is just like plug and play, we have to focus on a logic of code rest part can be handled by ASP. Net framework.
    • It's a best for only web development.
    • One downside with ASP.NET is its reliance on the .NET framework.

    Apache Flex is a modern, standards-based programming language that supports common design patterns. It's an open-source SDK used to make rich Internet applications that work on different browsers and platforms. Any flash-based application framework, such as Eclipse or the Flash above Builder, can be used to implement this. So far, in comparison, it's much more crucial, especially for people working in fields like mobile development.

    We choose ASP.NET because our core business is working with the SAP HANA database using SAP Business One. We can develop state-of-the-art applications with Razor and Visual Studio 2022 fast and with excellent application performance response. Working SAP Hana with JAVA could be more challenging because it has fewer developers communities, and it could be harder to find a solution for a question.

    Return on Investment
    Apache
    • Positive: Easy to learn if you already knew AS.
    • Negative: Too heavy on flash knowledge (I know it's contradictory, but it was a plus & a minus).
    • ROI was great since it saves time on multiple devices compiling.

    • We realized positive returns due to interns and new employees already having experience due to the free academic versions available.
    • Being able to evaluate the express version prior to purchase was helpful.
    • Performance is adequate, but not as responsive as C++. I guess the trade-off is ease of use and being able to find qualified personnel.
