Connecting your Flex application to BlazeDS or LiveCycle DS

If you have ever attended one of my presentations on BlazeDS, LiveCycle DS, or Flex/ColdFusion, you have heard me talk about how bad the data-connectivity wizards are in ALL of the IDEs available for the Flex SDK.  Even the new Flash Builder 4.5 dosen’t address the white-hot mess they call the data connectivity wizards that they [...]

Creating runtime remoting destinations in BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services

Ok, lets dive right into a really geeky topic… destinations in BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services. For one of my customers, I was given the requirement to create a runtime destination in BlazeDS.  BlazeDS, along with its bigger brother LiveCycle allow you to create destinations in one of two ways — via the configuration XML files (services-config.xml, [...]

Adobe MAX write-up

I’ve just come back from this year’s Adobe MAX conference, and oh, boy was it a whirlwind! I fell that Adobe outdid themselves this year and set the bar much higher.  I guess being in the same location more than one year in a row lets them concentrate on content rather than logistics. The theme [...]

An Intro to ColdFusion Builder

ColdFusion Builder was released yesterday, and in all honesty I’ve been using it for about 6 months now (public and private betas).  It’s been rock solid and chalk-full of features, even for a 1.0 release.  Adobe also realized that they can’t make every feature available for the 1.0 release, so they made the entire thing [...]

Welcome to the family, Flash Builder 4!

This morning Adobe’s Flash Builder 4 and ColdFusion Builder 1.0 were released!  I feel like both have been in beta for ages and ages, but that’s most likely because they’ve been stable so long, and the world has been using it for at least the last six month. So, what’s so great about Flash Builder [...]

Know the code you are in…

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Detroit Java User’s Group presentation from Josh Holmes on Application Simplicity.  Walking into the presentation, I, along with most of the people that attended expected the typical UX presentation (keep it simple, stupid! among other common slogans), but I was pleasantly surprised at one of the [...]

Why ColdFusion should NOT be taught in schools

I already know that this post won’t be popular with my close friends, but I think it needs to be said anyway…   Don’t worry, this isn’t a “ColdFusion is dead” article. I was recently asked to sit down for lunch with two computer science professors from two different schools in my area.  For the most [...]

Need some RIA Consulting? I can help!

Consulting,Freelance,Flex,RIA,Avaya,Definity,Communication Manager,GigE,VoIP,Telephony,Motorola Over the last few years, I’ve been dialing down the amount of consulting work that I was doing.  I made the conscious decision to spend more time with my family and friends, I bought a house, and spent a lot of time outdoors.  I also started a new usergroup, the Michigan Flex Users [...]

I’ve been interviewed!

ColdFusion,CFConversations,Frameworks,FlexCamp Well, an interview I did with Rick Mason from the Mid-Michigan Coldfusion Users Group has been posted as apart of the CFConversations Podcast.  If you haven’t heard of the podcast, it is hosted by Brian Meloche as is a great listen if you have anything to do with ColdFusion.  And i’m not just saying [...]

ColdFusion FREE for education?

ColdFusion,CFML,Adobe,CFUnited,Free,Education I’m watching the blog-o-sphere as to what is happening at CFUnited, and I saw people note that Adobe has decided to make their ColdFusion Enterprise Application Server free to Faculity and Students.  This is great news!  I’m still waiting on the details, but this move has the potential to mitigate the biggest complaint people [...]
