[...] Craig was the perfect follow-up to Michelle Yaiser. He started his talk by saying, “This is not about Flash, this talk is not about Flex, and this talk is definitely not about Flex. He also said the he writes awful code. I get the feeling that he follows Aral Balkans philosophy that you don’t have to have double doctorate in Computer Science and create perfect code with extended polymorphism to creat amazing things. And let me say Craig Swann, at Crash Media creates amazing kick-butt things. [...]

i belive its not reinvent of the wheal… ideas are not purely new it has tobe some inspiration and starting point. so keep up the good work.

We are doing quite a lot of data intensive commercial Flash Lite projects, we are very excited to showcase SWX as the preferred data transfer medium, I will post an example as soon as it’s done! SWX really is a godsend for mobile developers, have you seen what XML parsing does to the performance of a mobile application? I do agree though that it is a bit of a slowdown having to work of a running web server all the time, but that is really becoming less and less of a problem.

SWX is something new for me but this article convinced me to learn more about it. Thank you for the valuable article!

Really a great concept. Like you say it is a baby right now, but I am looking forward to how this affects mobile.

I don’t think having more options is a bad idea… but what i think every new option should incorporate is enterprise level integration in this day and age. Example for small applications only php support is ok, but for real world usage I would hope there are java and .net integration points as well

Very interesting idea

Hi Aral!

I think you’ve convinced me. I have a small group of Flash developers working for me that are going to learn the technology. After researching SWX, I think it’s going to work great with a couple of the things we do.

Thanks for the great blog!

Hi Joe,

So glad to hear that you’re excited about SWX! :)

For developers currently working with other technologies, I can only say, give it a try and see where SWX makes sense and where it doesn’t. For mobile applications, for example, XML just is not a very feasible option due to the processor overhead on the client. SWX works great there!

Also, you do get some neat things for free in SWX like queued requests (using the Full API) and a timeout handler (easy enough to implement but usually overlooked).

Looking forward to hearing about how you get on with SWX.
