Replicating FLEX functionality in Web App Builder

JohnCornell

We have a web mapping app built in Flex (soon to lose its support) and so are wondering to what extent we can replicate the functionality within the existing app in Esri's Web App Builder without having to get too much into custom code? To view the existing web application built in Flex go here: MSB Web Tool

This is what I suspected.

So is this the kind of development that Esri can offer through its Professional Services and if so would it make better economic sense to do this - as opposed to spending money on training in-house staff with some existing JS knowledge? As I understand it JS training is not cheap. I know we are getting a little off-topic, but its all part of the same picture.

John,

Intermediate level knowledge of the JS API, CSS and Dojo would be needed as well as basic knowledge of HTML. The Web AppBuilder is a great starting point for web app development, just like the Viewer for Flex was but the level of customization that you have in Flex is not something that comes without a skilled Flex Developer and the same goes for WAB you will need personnel skilled in JS API development.

Hi Robert

Can you please give an indication of the level of JavaScript (or other) experience and understanding required to make the kind of custom tool that we had made in Flex? How much easier is it to build in Web App Builder and what training should I ensure that my staff have to develop these things properly?

Cheers

John,

Your Flex site is highly customized for a flex site so it is very improbable that you would not have to do the same level of customization in Web AppBuilder.

There are many custom widgets built for the Web Appbullder developer edition (many by Robert Scheitlin, GISP that did many of the Flex widgets.) start by looking at Web AppBuilder Developer Edition - Customization Resource List
