Ipad 2

Quote from Rodney King:

Just curious -- what use do you have for Adobe tools in research and trading? I'm drawing a blank.

Re "never intended for": Exactly right -- a chef has many types of knives, one for each purpose.

It's a rapid development tool to build frontend guis (trading apps being one of them). Take a look at flex ( http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ ). Most of the current trading app frontends are all legacy heavy client using java swing or window c/.net based. Flex ide is years ahead and it makes streaming quote every easy with the built-in features.

My programmers were explaining to me the advantages of using flex in database management. It looks pretty amazing. How much have you been playing with it?

Requires Flash? What is the mean time between failures? 10 minutes?

Is anybody actually using Flash for a trading platform?

Thanks, I'll stick with Java which is very robust.

I am not sure what you are talking about here, flex is for gui development as mentioned. Middle tier and processing are still java/c++. In term of performance for the gui, we did extensive testing and flex datagrid is faster than java swing (and blows gwt out the water) Keep in mind also that's a thin client vs a heavy client.

In term of ownership cost and development, java swing is like riding a bike trying to catch a porsche, ever try to code/maintain a custom grid in swing? absolute nightmare.

You can set flex up with its blazeds connector to hook up directly to your middle tier whatever language it is, in matter of hours.

We prototyped a pricing app that has real time quotes to replace the legacy java swing, and the traders are all for it. They can just open up a browser tab instead of keeping that java app running which takes a lot more memory. Not to mention the flash gui is much fancier, we made it similar to excel which is what they love.... Try to do that in java swing under 4 weeks.

This is a deal killer. Next!

"It's also definitely not a tablet to go travelling with.

There's another reason why you won't want to stray too far from home with the Slate: its formidable computing power eats up battery life like nobody's business. It depends on what you're doing, but the Slate will usually only offer a couple of hours of use before the battery conks out."
