@Anatole Flex != AIR

@Valery
Good+Fast is possible in most cases if money is not an object.
Good + Cheap is possible if a US-based company as senior offshore developers and there is plenty of time.

Next conference I will submit topic “Using Flex on the back end” – interesting development with server-side/distributed AIR deployment.
Regards,
Anatole

“We use a lot of Flex, especially for our front end.” — most probably it’s a confusion between Flex framework and full Adobe software stack. So the real meaning should be Flex + LCDS / BlazeDS or Flex + Flash Media Server or similar.

“Development can be good, fast, and cheap – pick two” — I don’t get this phrase.
Good + Fast? Is it possible simultaneously? At max you can deliver Good software only Reasonably Fast, not faster.
Good + Cheap? Well, it depends on definition of cost. More concrete, to what cost panelist is referring to — declared in reply to RFP as “per-hour-rate” or actual “total-time-and-money-spent”?
Cheap + Fast is the only combo one can easily get. Cheap + Fast (and “Bad” as bonus item)

Hehe, you caught that too “We use a lot of Flex, especially for our front end.” hope it was a slip of the tongue because if you make large apps and mostly use Flex for front end …

I hope you don’t have to go a third time to P.F. Changs today!

It was great to spend some time with you and Shashank. One thing about being the organizers is not having enough time to visit with people, since you’re so busy making sure everyone is being taken care of.

I look forward to just being able to have some one on one time with people in the future.
