'The world is changing,' Yakov Fain told the audience at SYS-CON Events' Real-World Java Seminar in New York City today. 'Financial institutions are starting to hire Web designers. While running Flex training for Java developers for some of the Wall Street giants, the students (Java programmers) have shown me beautifully done functional specs for the GUI of new Web applications. In the past, programmers would just put screens together to the best of their design abilities. Web design group would make sure that the company logo looks right and proper CSS are in place. But now the real Web designers are creating state of the art enterprise Web sites. ' The world of rich Internet applications has made it to Wall Street, Fain observed, before going on to demonstrate why Adobe Flex is so well placed to allow Java developers to ride the RIA wave. "When you are working on real-world projects, using Flex is faster than doing the same thing in Java Swing," Fain said. "As Java developers you are accustomed to great tools," he continued. Flex 2, he contended, requires more third-party tools too.
Fain, a professional enterprise developer, is co-author of Rich Internet Applications with Adobe Flex with Java, and an acknowledged expert on developing GUI with Adobe Flex, which he reminded the audience "is faster than with Java, but it;'s not a RAD tool."
He explained Flex architecture and how it can be integrated in existing or new Java EE applications. He also showed how Eclipse plugins can introduce rapid application development into an Internet project.
