I want to create a fairly large-scale Flex web application that has a similar interface style to Grooveshark.

When it comes to web development, I have always used the common PHP/HTML/JavaScript technologies. Now, I want to try something new and develop a RIA using Flex.

Using PHP/HTML/JavaScript, I am able to develop my entire website with free tools. Now, I'm wondering if I am able to do the same thing with a Flex web application?

Is it possible/feasible to develop a Flex web application for free? If not, what would be the lowest cost I would need to spend? And, whatever the option, what are the tools that would be needed?

Have you been to Adobe's Flex website? You can do anything you need to with the free Flex SDK, available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex4sdk.

To develop without Flex Builder will be more tedious and require a more in-depth understanding of how to position and organize graphic elements. I hope you have lots of time :)

  • To get you kick started on that though, you could download the FB4 trial and get stuck in, figure it out and then drop it after the trial expires – danjah Oct 13 '10 at 20:30
