CF and the Evolving Web

I've been very busy lately so please excuse the absence of posts. While I'm on the subject of being away, I'll mention that I'm leaving the country to embark on my annual trip to India in 9 days.

Last week I spoke at the MD CFUG - the planned topic was CF Powered Flex and AIR, including a discussion of the changing role of CF on the web today. What ended-up happening was a 45 minute discussion about CF's role in the evolving web with an hour's worth of code and demos crammed into 15 minutes at the end. That said, it was a productive and interesting discussion, which I really enjoyed. I plan to elaborate on the main points of that discussion in a blog entry in the very near future.

Unfortunately, the announcement about the availability of BladeDS had not been made yet when I gave the preso. It would have added a bit of relevant very current events to the talk. For those of you who haven't heard about BladeDS, it's the (currently) beta release by Adobe of a subset of the technology that drives LCDS (formerly Flex Data Services) as an Open Source solution. BladeDS includes the specification for the AMF 3 protocol and a (J2EE) server-side communication piece that supports AMF, messaging (including subscription-based messaging) and using the server as an HTTP Proxy for Flex applications. You can dowload and learn more about BladeDS on the Adobe Labs ste at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blazeds/

As many of my readers are aware, I've been learning LISP in my 'free' time. Most recently, I've been spending a decent amount of my time understanding how LISP handles binary data and bit streams. Needless to say, I've never had to work with data at the bit-stream level on any projects (many languages including ColdFusion abstract this for developers). My new understanding for how to manipulate data as bit streams gave me a lot of understanding and appreciation for how AMF works, as I read over the AMF3 technical specification (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/amf/amf3_spec_121207.pdf).

Simon, where in india are you going for your pilgrimage? Just curious as I am from India as well.

This trip, like most of my trips to India, I will be in North India. I spend most of my time in New Delhi and will also be in Ujhani, a small city in the Badaun district in U.P., for 4 or 5 days. My wife's ancestral home on her father's side is there and the family all meets there to ring in the New Year each year. That's where the picture on my blog of me playing Holi was taken earlier this year (http://www.horwith.com/index.cfm/2007/3/4/happy-ho...).

Today's weather is always changeable, so it is very crucial for people to look for the perfect winter coats in order to withstand the most frigid temperatures. Then, what is your best choice in 2011? In my opinion, a nice [url=http://www.sellcanadagooseparka.com]canada goose parka[/url] or jacket is perfect for us. In the past, we were often annoyed because the traditional coats were not good at breathability. However, canada goose clothing performs well in this aspect. With the perfect canada goose down coat, you will keep away from sweat and rain. Then, you will feel more comfortable during the winter time. [yuan]

Go shopping with Christian Louboutin Sale is a chore in every womens. I can never find a pair of Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes that I really like and when I do, in desperation, I buy two identical Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Aurora Boreale Pumps. Recently convinced by my husband to give my Black Louboutin shoes a tidy, I suddently found a few pairs Christian Louboutin Boots that were still labelled and had never been worn. In my Christian Louboutin Pumps purchasing experience, I’m sure you can all relate to those impulse buys that you imagine will go with shopping on http://www.blacklouboutinssale.com/

When you are shopping for cheap north face jackets is definitely one of the best brands to stick with. A lot of the time there will be a surplus of the cheap north face jackets because other people don't want to pay that much for a jacket! This is why you can generally wait a bit longer and wait for the retailer to mark the price down before buying, because there will be plenty left to choose from. This is a good way to get cheap north face jackets online now.

Well said. I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to view things from a different view. I have to research more on this as it seems very interesting. One thing I don’t understand though is how everything is related together.
