@uchihacirxe,

For your own sake, please I beg you to see Business Intelligence Development Studio, just now I check on the youtube, it was there... check google images for the IDE… if you can find some expert in your office who can work on DataWindow, Ask him to record it, post it on youtube, from construction of database to User Interface design, then I show you how I will make it on BIDS and on Visual Studio. This is the only way we can compare. It’s up to you to set some situation, it’s up to you to provide database, what will I gonna do is just to show you how will I make it in my own.

Actually, I thought of this too. I would love to show how Powerbuilder works to you guys. Just give me some time to set this up.

for the record,
my experience:

8 years - Powerbuilder
3 years - .NET ( C#, ASP.NET )
2 years - Adobe Flex

adobe flex? mao ni katong adobe air? flex diay ang entire package tawag ana..?

The two are the same but different in the way they are executed. Flex is browser-based while AIR is window-based ( it can run on the desktop ). Why did I say "window-based" and not "windows-based" because AIR can run on linux. Learn Flex, while learning flex you are actually learning AIR. Another difference between the two is AIR can do full file manipulation while Flex has limited capabilities on that line.

Actually Adobe Flex is an IDE used to build Flex applications. FLEX itself is a free framework you use to build flash-based applications. You can use text editors and build your flex apps using command line.
Because of this confusion, Adobe is changing the brand of Adobe Flex to Adobe Flashbuilder so as to distinguish the IDE from the framework.

I think the IDE is called Flex Builder and not Flashbuilder.

Yes correct it is called Adobe Flex Builder but the next release will be called Adobe Flash Builder.

i see, thanks for the info bro.. don't worry, i understand the difference between window$ and window only..

i guess this is adobe's move on making thin-clients ra pud.. (its ironic though, na flash is very processor intensive).. murag mucompete tingale ni sila sa google's GWT and other html-enabled desktop (ajax appz).. cloud computing..

Actually, the flex framework is intended for developers who wants develop flash-based applications but don't have the time to spend learning tweens, timeline, frames etc.

If you are using the Adobe Flex Builder IDE, it has a simple drag and drop interface where you add your controls and define functions and events. After which, the code is compiled to either .swf or mxml format. You only need flash player installed on your browser to run this type of application.

Here's a wonderful example: Flex Store

Experience it and tell me if its processor intensive.

i see.. that's some cool examples there..

well, i guess they're trimming down on the aspects of flash that make it processor intensive..
there weren't that heavy animations in the example, just simple but still elegant..

so all this is actionscript directed?

yeah. ultimately it is compiled in actionscript.
It is rich and interactive. That is why Flex is a part of what they call RIA - Rich Internet Applications. Silverlight from Microsoft is also RIA. JavaFX for Java.
