| | h2. Flex and Java |
| | |
| | Java technology can be used to create both client\- and server-side applications. While the server-side implementation is widely accepted, the browser-based client-side applications have been less successful because the file sizes are large and the installation is cumbersome. Flex is a great solution for Java developers because it enables them to utilize the power of Java servers while creating expressive and interactive interfaces with a technology that has almost 100% deployment in browsers.{column}{column} |

| | h6. What is JAVA? |
| | |
| | * Java is a virtual machine that can be used to create platform-independent software. Software created in Java can run on any hardware that supports the Java Virtual Machine. |
| | * In web development, Java can be used as either a client-side or server-side programming language. |
| | * When Java is used on the client side, we're generally talking about Applets, which can run on a browser with Java support. |
| | * When Java is used on the server side, we're probably thinking JSP or [???] to create framework-based web applications or to create web services. |
| | |
| | h2. How does it compare to Flex? |
| | |
| | * Java Applets, with their ability to run inside a browser window, are similar to Flex applications. Flex apps, however, are much easier to deploy through the lightweight easy-to-install Flash Player. |
| | * Server-side Java can be used to create web services for consumption by a Flex application |
