[flexcoders] ColdFusion vs. PHP as the back-end

[Ville Walveranta]

I started my quest to explore Flex rather recently; I never did much with v1.5, mostly because the cost involved to launch any commercial solution created with it. Now, with 2.0 it’s pretty exciting to see everything that is now, rather easily (and inexpensively!), possible to do.   But one thing I’m not quite clear on yet: what is the difference, or benefit from, between basic remoting as is possible with PHP/CF/ASP.NET, and the extended interaction with ColdFusion which makes it possible to “pass actual instances of Actionscript Classes and have them map directly into a CFC Instances – and vice versa” (a quote from Tim Buntel’s blog)?   Thanks for any insights!   Ville   __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
