After a wait of two long years the official release of the latest RIA development platform from the stables of Adobe – Flex 4 with its IDE tool Flash Builder 4 has come as a good news for the Flex developer community. This news has caught the Internet, specifically the social media, on fire as everyone is buzzing quite loudly with the news already. The release has come as an update to the Beta 2 version of the technology. Though it would be interesting to see what a Flex developer can reap from the updated version of Flex.
The remodeling of the Spark Architecture and the porting to the rest of the Flex 3 components is one of the most significant things to take place after the Beta 2. This change brings a whole new aspect to the technology by adding significant scalability by separating the display logic from the encapsulated functionality of the component. This would be a reason to excite and smile for the Flex developers. Additionally, there have been drastic changes that allow a Flex developer to code faster like code hinting and code generation.
Adobe promises to improve the workflow dramatically through the insertion of code hinting, code generation, and service generating features. Working on the Flash Builder 4 Beta for Flex 3.5 clearly indicated a rise in performance and speed in Flex development as compared to the older versions. Hence the official release of the Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 are sure to bring in superior experience for the Flex developers who work on big and complex enterprise Flex applications.
Now that the Version 4 is out of beta, the clients will be much more inclined to use it. The speculation rests on the base that the Flex SDK 4 and Flash Builder 4 extend their predecessors by miles. Another wonder to it is that there is a lot of support for backward compatibility which would commendably ease the transition from 3 to 4 for apps that are in active development and want to take advantage of the features that ship with the new releases. There is a lot in stored for the Flex developer with the release of the futuristic Adobe tools and technologies for Flex development.
