BlazeDS: A Breaking News for the Adobe Flex Community!
Adobe makes a very strong move to help Flex adoption

Digg This!

Page 2 of 2   « previous page

For those who are afraid of jumping into open source waters and want a product that is backed by a large company, Adobe will maintain LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition, which is BlazeDS certified by Adobe. in the diagram below, LCDS components that won't be included in BlazeDS are shown in gray.

The product will stay in Beta for a couple of months, but since it’s pretty stable software, the GA release will follow shortly.  Visit here for more details. The Adobe press release can be found here.

Now, why this announcement is important for the company I work for:

1. Now we'll have a lot more consulting requests.
2. Our firm will start selling more of our software components - we can just say to our customers that other than our licenses, there's nothing else to purchase.
3. We'll have more training requests since Flex will be used by a lot more organizations since BlazeDS will definitely open many enterprise doors to Flex development.

Overall, Adobe made a very smart move, which on the long run will lead to more sales of LCDS too.  But for now let's enjoy free BlazeDS.
