m applying for a university and the page the school board have given all the students is this "Degree Locater" http://www.electronicinfo.ca/en/degree.php .  '
I Really cant help but wondering why this site is not a Flex application. I mean it has all the makings of a Flex app, from mass data, to filtering , to just being plain simple to use. Instead i think it is using Flash and PHP remoting which is making it slow as hell to load all that data constantly. If this were a flex app, you could have saved the data once it is loaded in memory since the universites are not changing by the minute ( I Hope not :S) and it would improve performace by at least 75%.

Today on the Adobe Edge newsletter, Thermo was being demo'd and this looks like an amazing tool for developers especially who arent that "artsy". This can also make a better workflow between desginers and developers. I cant wait to try this tool out.
