This article is a transcript from a recorded conversation I had with Anatole
Tartakovsky and Victor Rasputnis – my business partners at Farata Systems.
This conversation took place on the mountain after the day of skiing.
Yakov. There are many ways of creating Web applications and creating them for
the enterprises is not the same as developing a Web site for a pizzeria in
your neighborhood. During the last five years we’ve been using mainly Adobe
Flex for development of the front end of Web applications. Flex applications
work in a well known and predictable run-time environment called Flash
Player. The code is compiled and you have convenient tools for development.
Flex is undergoing “Under New Management” transformations these days.
Even though Flex remains the best framework for development of Web
applications, you can feel the pressure of HTML5. But using just HTM... (more)

Mobile development tools are changing rapidly.
I had started work on comparing cross-platform mobile tools about a month
back. I had initially started with a list of 26 tools. Few got added on the
way.
However, what is most interesting is that in this short period of time one of
the tools (Open Plug) was discontinued. It was a Flash based tool. Since
Adobe decided to discontinue Flash for mobile in favor of HTML5 – they
really had no choice. Another tool (Pyxis Mobile) has been renamed as (Verivo
Software).
Coming back to mobile tool comparison – I had categorized the tools into... (more)
Oracle can't appeal the judge's decision to cut the $1.3 billion jury award
in its suit against SAP to a mere $272 million unless it rejects the $272
million, the judge told Oracle last Friday. Oracle is trying to avoid the
other option the judge gave it, which is a new trial. If Oracle rejects the
$272 million, there would be a new trial and then it could appeal the judge's
decision. The judge contends Oracle only proved actual damages of $272
million when SAP's now defunct TomorrowNow third-party maintenance subsidiary
illegally downloaded reams of Oracle software. Reuters, whi... (more)
