As one of those (few) ‘hybrid’ developers, I’ve seen and felt the disdain from both sides. I was a big champion of using Flash inside Ford (on the intranet… I hear you there ‘blue and gray is all we need’!), but I’ve gotten tired of fighting the battle, there.

So, I’ve been moving a lot more of my work toward ‘AJAX’ as that at least doesn’t make people automatically think ‘annoying popovers’ or something.

Flex and Openlaszlo seem pretty cool, but I’m still a bit wary, as finding opportunity to use it (not to mention the resources) has been difficult where I’m at. Nevertheless, that demo you showed look awesome.

Thanks again for the presentation, and I hope I get a chance to see you give another sometime in the near future!
