Einführung Flex und PHP
ONLamp über Flex: Introduction to Flex Using PHP
Flex isn’t the only way to create RIAs; JavaScript and Ajax can also provide your applications with a lot of interactivity. But Flex has many advantages. First, it has a rich cross-platform user interface toolkit that’s easier to work with, in some cases, than the DHTML model. Second, it encourages you to architect your PHP application to support HTML and XML interfaces, which is good for everyone.
Flex Builder 2’s biggest advantage is its ability to create self-contained SWF files from MXML applications that talk to your web server. This means that you can create small widgets or Flash-based interface enhancements for your site quickly. That’s a nice way of getting into Flex without having to move your entire interface over to it. Give it a try; I think you’ll be blown away.
