Why this analysis? During an internship at IBM Germany back in 2009, I had to develop a Visualizer based on Flex that heavily relied on its charting library API. Even on strong machines, it was […]

Since a lot of time has passed and many things changed since then, I think it’s time for an updated sight on this technology. Back in the days when […]

It is being said that the fact that MXML files inherit both, application logic (through ActionScript) and the declarative way of building graphic user-interfaces using MXML syntax, makes it almost impossible to […]

Thus, for example, it would not be […]
