So Nicole's husband (John) is a user of Adobe Flex. She was talking about his efforts (ok, his and the WIFE's efforts) in the Flex developer community which made me curious. I didn't realize that this is an outgrowth (actually a rebranding post-redevelopment) of Macromedia's Flex Data Services. I know, Duh!, right?
Anyway, this looks really cool. Check out this quick demo video.
The 3.0 version looks to have greatly simplified the required component stack compared to the software needed back in 2004 for v1.0.
When you couple the simple set-up app the guy builds in the video with an SQL Server web service endpoint serving up xml data, you could build nice looking Web apps that are visible only as a Flash movie to external users. I'd be curioius to hear what the Big Tree developers think of this software compared to using MS products such as ASP.NET + AJAX (Atlas?) and Silverlilght.
