Flex To Html5 - What For Presentation Layer (canvas, Div, ???)

My question is about migration from Flex3 to HTML5. I want do migrate myself not application actually. The question is, what direction is the best and most similar to flex knowledg

Solution 1:

From experience, we can say that writing a DataGrid component is a VERY large undertaking. We've been working on our DataGrid components for 3 years now, and we're STILL adding features. Instead of writing your own ADG like component, you should consider JS frameworks. Below are some:

• DOJO (Excellent framework for RIA Enterprise App Development, and Free!)

• Sencha (Pretty good, but commercial)

• JQuery (Very popular, but highly fragmented).

Each of these come with their own grid component. Senchas grid is pretty good, but so are some jquery grids. See this for example: Best dynamic JavaScript/JQuery Grid

Bottom line, dont reinvent the wheel. There are many excellent paid and free versions out there, pick one that works for you and run with it.

Disclaimer: I am author of Web Atoms JS

Web Atoms JS was built to bring all concepts of Flex, Silverlight and XUL. And each of these technologies used more of XML markup for very high level UI controls. Screens become complex and visualizing them becomes painful when it keeps on changing.

With Web Atoms you will write for less code then any of other frameworks. Web Atoms comes with all basic flex Components & more are coming.

This is a Sample of what all things are possible in Web Atoms JS.
