If
you want to go hardcore though, Java is your best option. Why Java over PHP in this instance? PHP
is a very capable language, albeit maybe a little “fragmented” due
to it’s nature. Perhpas the biggest thing that bothers me in it is the lack
of thread safety (which, obviously, is not an issue with languages such as CF
or Java that have been written from ground up, and that don’t rely on a
plethora of third party modules). Ville From: I’m using a CF backend in my personal flex joints. It’s very easy to set-up and the wizards are a nice touch
for the UI guys. If you want to go hardcore though, Java is your best option. I don’t need Php, I’m not poor. Regards, Bjorn Schultheiss Senior Flash Developer QDC Technologies From: 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)?
