Advantages/Disadvantages of AIR vs Flex/Web -
I have been asked to write an application to keep and connect the object (like a room planner, where you Furniture can keep). I've created a demo using Flash Builder 4 and have created it as a desktop app for AIR. Now the customer wants the full app, but he and I am sure whether it should continue to be made as a Air App or convert it into a web application using Flex. I tried to make a simple conversion to the Air app in a web app, and most of the stuff works but not all. Things that do not work seem like ordinary insects, although lack of capacity is not complete.
Capabilities that I need (except modeling) are:
- Printing of printed printing + a list of furniture that is kept
- One way to save and retrieve the finished plans
- One way to export a list of furniture in Excel format
- A complete number of data about different objects Assuming
only the printing has been implemented so far, and also work in the web app It seems.
What are the advantages / disadvantages of two approaches? Do I need to be very bad (or impossible) in any way to implement any kind of capabilities?
EDIT: Thank you for your reply, and your own research, I came up with the following:
web app
advantages- No need to install software
- Easy
- to save files
- Requires a web server
- Sligthly
- An Internet connection is required to work
- Lots of data transports can be slow on slow networks
DES
- Adobe Air Runtime + requires a separate installation of the program
- All users The updates need to be distributed and the administrator has to install them
this oneThere is no direct response for any points to consider at some points:
- If you want to use specific AIR features such as offline use, you should use the user's OS etc Integration with AIR (of course)
- Flex applications are easy to distribute and upgrade, because all servers use the same SWF instance when you use a server backend with AIR If you use, you should know about backward compatibility problems while upgrading the application.
