Flex expertise
Rich Internet Applications (RIA) or Rich Enterprise
Applications (REA) represent a significant progress as they deliver
a unique user experience, which combines excellent ergonomics,
better interaction, more functionality and easier maintenance.
As Silver
Adobe EMEA partner, SmartWave has decided to implement the Flex
technology for Web 2.0 user interfaces.
With its Java competencies, SmartWave
supports companies and organizations in their effort to adopt
RA technologies RIA, with the objective to speed up the implementation

Flex in short
Adobe Flex 3 is a multi-platforms Open Source
framework designed by Macromedia in
2004, and transmitted to Adobe with the acquisition
in 2005. Flex support the creation of Rich Internet Applications
(RIA) which are compiled into executable code that can be run
with the Flash payer (.swf), an application present on 98%
of Web browsers, with the same look and feel on most browsers and
for most operating systems.
The programming model of Flex uses MXML (based
on XML) et ActionScript 3.0, based on ECMAScript. In April 2007,
Adobe has licensed Flex on MPL open source license.
Flex is designed to create rich client applications (RIA) that
are deployed on Internet and communicate with remote servers.
Using AIR, the runtime environment, developers can use Flex technology
to create rich Internet applications that can be deployed locally
on the desktop. AIR applications are installed using one installation
program and they run on various environments and operating systems.
Using Flex and AIR, developers can use their skills, tools and
existing code to design very attractive and sophisticated applications
that combine the best of two worlds : local processing and Web
reach.
For more information concerning these technologies,
you can have a look at the used by
SmartWave during the Flex / AIR - RIA seminar on June 24th, 2008
in
Geneva.
