The first Mashup Kit: DreamFace Fx Mashup Kit for Adobe Flex
The DreamFace Fx Mashup Kit for Adobe Flex brings Flex into full play within DreamFace interactive DataWidgets, mashups and applications. Flex is a highly productive, free open source environment for building and maintaining expressive web applications and widgets. Now, with the DreamFace Fx Mashup Kit for Flex, Flex-powered widgets may be freely mixed and mashed up with DreamFace DataWidgets, WebPrograms and mashups. The DreamFace Fx Mashup Kit provides full bi-directional integration with Flex applications. The Fx Mashup Kit sets Flex apps as first-class DataWidgets that can be personalized and shared like any other DreamFace DataWidget and can trigger and react to interactions and business rules in DreamFace Interactive applications.
DreamFace Mashup Kits extend the DreamFace Interactive Web 2.0 Framework to other technologies and solutions
The goal of DreamFace Interactive is to bring Web 2.0 concepts like Do IT Yourself, Personalization and Sharing to the enterprise. The DreamFace Web 2.0 Framework is already built on a totally open architecture, but we wanted to add even more value by allowing developers to leverage other technologies and services from the DreamFace Framework. With the addition of Mashup Kits, DreamFace not only provides a way for delevopers and business users to mashup diverse data sources but now also allows them to mashup different technologies into a seamless and coherent Web 2.0 experience. We believe that with our Mashup Kits, DreamFace Interactive is breaking new ground in Web 2.0 innovation and making our mark by taking Enterprise 2.0 mashups to the next level.”, remarks Olivier Poupeney.
