I'm starting a new project divided into two parts: a php application and a desktop application that will use information from the php application.
The desktop application needs to meet the following requirement :

  • easy to install
  • easy to launch
  • allow off-line data view
  • allow synchronization with php app.

which solution is better Flex/air or google gears or other ?

thx.

Google gears will allow off-line data view, but to create a stand-alone desktop application you'll need AIR or something similiar (you can combine Gears with ie. GWT and run in with AIR, or use Flex).

Adobe AIR ticks all the boxes and of course, if you want to deliver a web-based interface too, you'll enjoy massive code re-use by building that in Flex. I'm currently using the Zend framework for my Flex/Air/Php development and it's doing fine - I recommend that.
