Now that the ArcGIS Server development platform has finally come of age, many are asking: which platform do I use? There are a number a criteria that enter into this equation and I think others have done a good job of defining these so I will not be discussing them here. The intent of this post is simply to provide you with some of the resources I have found that evaluate at least the 2 RIA platforms ESRI is now providing: Flex and Silverlight. There is alot of chatter/bashing going on and it is often hard to sift through some of the biases so the following are the most resent/unbiased postings I could find. For what its worth, I think they are both great and good for one another. The harder they compete, the better off we all are. Heck, I hope we even start discussing JavaFX in the near future.
