The Future of CFScript

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:12:00+0100

I wasd just reading some comments about the announcements yesterday on ECMAscript. It seems that Adobe's attempt to make ECMAScript 4 standards based around AS3 have failed, which is a pity but understandable in the circumstances. One of the comments on Josh's Blog was comparing Adobe (AS1, AS2, AS3, JSFL, MXML, Lingo, ColdFusion, etc etc) and Microsoft Languages (C#, Silverlight, ASP, XNA). This made me wonder what it would be like to have AS3 as an option in ColdFusion to replace CFScript. OK so I know we can already use AS3 in CF8 as a client language but what about the server? Is there a need to standardise in this way? Do the things I want to do on the client have enough commonality with what I want to do on the server to use the same language? What do you think?

One theme is recurring in new stuff from Adobe. Integration. I just saw a presentation on a new Flash Component Kit for CS which allows you to easily make Flash movies that integrate fully with Flex. It should be available on Adobe labs on Monday.

What can I do with my phone?

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 18:09:00+0100

I am beginning to see some advantages from my Nokia N73 phone which I recently upgraded. I changed over to vodafone and was begining to think that I had bought a lot of capability but was not able to make use of it. I have used it to listen to the ColdFusion podcasts but the're no longer running and I want to try some flash things out and now looks like I will be able to.
