Likelihood to Recommend	Apache Apache Flex is an open-source SDK used to make rich Internet applications. It's developed with Action Script and MXML and works particularly well with Android and iOS ecosystems. Any flash-based application framework, such as Eclipse or the Flash above Builder, can be used to implement this. Free is best for mobile app developers, but suppose you have concerns, and consider Apache Flex's development team welcomes any questions via email.

Really there is no limit: instead of using the specific driver and writing custom code you just include LinqConnect and map the model. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Apache Runs on flash (at the time this was handy, not so much now. hah). Good support from the company. Ability to run offline. Incentivized Corey Birkmann Freelance Designer & Developer Read full review	Devart No answers on this topic
Cons	Apache It's heavy as it needs to load the Flash plugin first before rendering anything to the user. Not future ready as there is no support for mobile and tablet platforms. Incentivized Abraham Madathil Vice President Read full review	Devart No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Apache Apache Flex is a modern, standards-based programming language that supports common design patterns. It's an open-source SDK used to make rich Internet applications that work on different browsers and platforms. Any flash-based application framework, such as Eclipse or the Flash above Builder, can be used to implement this. So far, in comparison, it's much more crucial, especially for people working in fields like mobile development.

Return on Investment	Apache Positive: Easy to learn if you already knew AS. Negative: Too heavy on flash knowledge (I know it's contradictory, but it was a plus & a minus). ROI was great since it saves time on multiple devices compiling. Incentivized Corey Birkmann Freelance Designer & Developer Read full review	Devart No answers on this topic
