The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Adobe AIR Questions

Asked by webseth in JavaScript, PHP and Databases, Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)

Tags: adobe air, ajax, php, mysql

Ok, I'm completely new to Adobe AIR. I know how to use Tweet Deck. That's the extent of anything I know about AIR. I just have several questions before I decide on trying to have an AIR application built for me.

1. The information that will be used to populate the desktop AIR application would be in the form of a mySQL database on a remote server. Is there any problem with this?

2. The database will be updated every 10 minutes or so. Is there a problem synchronizing the AIR application to coincide with the updates?

3. When a person is using my application, they will need the ability to remove rows from their installation. For instance, based on the results this person gets in the application, there are 10 results. Of those 10, the person only likes 3 of them and they choose to "remove" the other 7. Is it a problem to set up the application to not include those 7 upon the next update? Like setup a local database with the unique ID's that are dislikes and pull the new results that are not equal to the dislikes...

4. I would expect that if the above is possible, that there would be no problem adding the "favorites" to a local DB and publishing those to a separate column within the application, correct?

5. Is it possible to have several streams open at a time, similar to the way Tweet Deck is set up....with the above information?

6. What would be the best development platform for this? Flex or Ajax?

Those are my main questions for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
