I think it does, although I'm not sure. It is Flash Player 6, and has worked
with all the FP6-required stuff I've tried it with so far.

There isn't really anything special or different about the process, except
that (a) the screen is typically smaller and (b) network connectivity tends
to be more intermittent.

You may find these URLs interesting (or not - they don't have any Flash
Remoting examples).

That's all well and fine...but how many mobile devices support Flash MX

Eek, Flashlite is only flash 4, but flashplayer for pocket pc is 6.

Anyhow, it somewhat makes no difference. The biggest issue as I mentioned is
that not only are alot of developers unaccustom to putting in the extra
effort to get the functionality that makes a great rich app.

Flash grew almost too fast for it's own good. There are quite a few good
rich developers, but far too many learning bad practices.

Good catch... =]

I don't know about most devices, but Windows Mobile supports Flash Player 6,
and the original poster was asking about Pocket PC devices.

Actually with Flash MX, you can read in the available stage size and layout
the contents accordingly. Also, its quite easy to detect the screen
resolution in the latest version which makes this even easier.

The biggest problem with Flash is that most developers rarely put in the
extra effort to add such features and clients never ask for them for fear
that the cost will blow up.

I disagree, mobile interfaces require a totally different approach. The
chances you have to create two types of interfaces, for mobile use, and for
desktop use. The small screen forces you to approach in a different manner.

It's worth pointing out that you don't need to use .NET to support Pocket
PC. If you're just building web applications, and you assume that your
Pocket PC will always be connected to a network when the application is
used, you can design an interface that will work well enough within Pocket
IE. Also, you can use Flash and Flash Remoting interfaces. If you want to
build applications that can work with an intermittent network connection,
you can build them with .NET Compact Framework and they can communicate with
web services when network connectivity exists. Those web services can be
written with CFMX, of course.

I'll be doing a presentation at CFUNITED on building .NET Compact Framework
applications that leverage CFMX web services.

It's worth pointing out that ASP.NET does offer you the ability to use .NET
Mobile Controls, which will let you build one (relatively simple and
generic) interface which will work with desktop browsers and mobile device
browsers, including not only Pocket IE but your typical WAP/WML phone.
Personally, I wasn't that impressed with the mobile controls, though - I
think that the interfaces differ enough to benefit from separate development
in most cases.

Caveat: Keep in mind the old saying...

 A FORTRAN programmer can write FORTRAN in any language.

Same goes for any language: just because the facilities are there
doesn't mean you'll end up writing real OO code. Most of the "OO" code
I've seen is just procedural code pretending to be OO. Equally, I've
seen some very good use of OOP in languages that don't even support it
directly.

 3) If you're a CFML-on-Java/J2EE shop, and you're not taking advantage of
J2EE platform integration features, and you're running on Windows, then you
can achieve immediate performance and reliability advantages by using
BlueDragon.NET instead of your current Java/J2EE-based CFML server. You can
then decide whether or not taking advantage of the ASP.NET platform
integration features makes sense for you.

 4) If you're a CFML shop that's considering use of ASP.NET as an additional
platform to supplement CFML, or if you're a shop that's already using both
CFML and ASP.NET, or if you're using CFML but have made a strategic decision
to migrate towards ASP.NET, then the benefits of integrating CFML and
ASP.NET are obvious and BlueDragon.NET is the obvious platform of choice for
deploying CFML.

2005-03-29 Thread Vince Bonfanti
There's a lot more permutations than that. Let me try to address some:

 1) If you're a UNIX or Linux shop, then BlueDragon.NET has no interest for
you, and I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise (instead, I'll try
to convince you to consider the Java/J2EE editions of BlueDragon that run on
UNIX/Linux).

 2) If you're a CFML-on-Java/J2EE shop, and you're taking advantage of J2EE
platform integration features, there might not be an immediate reason to
consider BlueDragon.NET. However, to digress for a  moment, I'd point out
that BlueDragon/J2EE provides better J2EE integration than any other
Java/J2EE-based CFML server. For example, BD/J2EE is the only CFML server
that fully supports WebSphere Network Deployment, including horizontal and
vertical clustering.

 3) If you're a CFML-on-Java/J2EE shop, and you're not taking advantage of
J2EE platform integration features, and you're running on Windows, then you
can achieve immediate performance and reliability advantages by using
BlueDragon.NET instead of your current Java/J2EE-based CFML server. You can
then decide whether or not taking advantage of the ASP.NET platform
integration features makes sense for you.

 4) If you're a CFML shop that's considering use of ASP.NET as an additional
platform to supplement CFML, or if you're a shop that's already using both
CFML and ASP.NET, or if you're using CFML but have made a strategic decision
to migrate towards ASP.NET, then the benefits of integrating CFML and
ASP.NET are obvious and BlueDragon.NET is the obvious platform of choice for
deploying CFML.

 5) If you're a CFML-on-Windows shop that finds the new features of CFMX 7
more compelling than the enhanced performance, reliability, and platform
integration provided by BlueDragon.NET, then you're probably going to stick
with CFMX 7.

 6) If you're an ASP.NET shop who's never used CFML, then you're probably
not going to be interested in using BlueDragon.NET.

Does this help clarify my position? I'm not trying to argue that
BlueDragon.NET is for everyone, or even that it's for most people. In fact,
I strongly believe that most CFML developers will continue to use Macromedia
ColdFusion MX, and that their needs will be better met by doing so.
But...there's a subset of CFML developers who will be better served by the
BlueDragon product line--both Java/J2EE and .NET.

I am not--and New Atlanta is not--trying to convince the entire population
of CFML developers to switch to BlueDragon. Instead, we're trying to
identify the subset of that population who are better served by our
products, and get the word to them. If you're not a member of that subset,
that's fine, I have no argument with you. But, if you're trying to imply the
no one in the current population of CFML developers is better served by
BlueDragon, then that's where we'll disagree.

I'd really like to see you expand on the answers you've deferred to a
presentation. What is the value benefit of .NET as a platform if are using
CFML on J2EE? 

As far as faster development goes, that question goes to the need to use
CFML at all if you are a .NET shop. I wasn't implying that tools would need
to be changed, I was just curious about development speed.

Some possible target audiences for CFML on .NET
..NET shops
CFML on J2EE shops

What I'm trying to determine is why either shop would want to change. While
you've made some general statements about performance (ignoring other OS
solutions for the moment), what other reasons are there?

There's no "all" or "always" when it comes to performance. The only honest
answer anyone can ever give to the question of performance is, "it depends
on your application." However, based on internal benchmarks that we've done,
and benchmarks of "real world" applications done by several lead customers
of BD.NET, we believe that CFML applications deployed on BD.NET will
generally out-perform the same CFML deployed on Java/J2EE-based CFML
servers. This is especially true for Windows 2003 Server--versus Windows
2000--due to the high level of integration among the .NET Framework, IIS
6.0, and Windows 2003 Server. This is also especially true for multi-CPU
servers. (Again, I'm comparing Java/J2EE-on-Windows versus .NET-on-Windows;
this is not a Windows-versus-Linux debate).

Our performance testing measured the typical parameters you'd expect to
measure: requests per second, request processing time (time-to-first-byte,
time-to-last-byte), and CPU utilization. All were generally better on BD.NET
(higher requests per second, lower request processing time, lower CPU
utilization). We hope to have some real-world case studies of BD.NET
customers to present at CFUNITED-05.

The only way to know if your application will perform better on BD.NET is to
test it yourself. If you (or anyone else) is serious about performance
testing your application on BD.NET, we'll be happy to help. There are some
configuration settings in ASP.NET that can have a dramatic impact on
performance, and we can help tune these for your application.

> While I know that Microsoft has come a long way in terms of

There are some specific new features in IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET on Windows 2003
related to web application isolation, process isolation, failure detection
and recovery, and process recycling that are unique and have no equivalents
in the Java/J2EE world. These are the things I'll talk about most during my
CFUNITED-05 presentation.

> What value does platform integration with .NET provide over a

If you see the value of ASP.NET, then the value of integrating CFML with
ASP.NET is obvious. If you're interested in learning more, then I'd suggest
Charlie's presentation and some of the ASP.NET presentations at CFUNITED-05.

I don't know. I've never made this claim, and don't know how you'd measure
such a thing. Personally, I do all of my CFML coding using CFEclipse,
whether that CFML is targeted for BD/J2EE or BD.NET. It's just CFML, so you
can use whatever tools you currently use to write CFML to target BD.NET (or
any edition of BlueDragon).

I tend to prefer the free Web Matrix tool over Visual Studio for developing
ASP.NET pages:

   http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/default.aspx?tabIndex=4&tabId=46

I've also heard that Dreamweaver has excellent support for ASP.NET, though
I've never used it myself. There's also an editor called PrimalCode that
supports both CFML and ASP.NET:

   http://www.sapien.com/primalcode.aspx

So there's no reason at all to think you're forced to change your
development tools or use Visual Studio when developing for BlueDragon.NET.

2005-03-29 Thread Vince Bonfanti
A follow-up to the integration question: support for mobile devices and
internationalization tends to be much stronger in ASP.NET than J2EE. These
are two key features that are pulling some of our lead BD.NET customers
towards .NET.

Note everyone is interested in these two features, and there are other
benefits to ASP.NET integration with CFML, but these seem to be two that are
catching some people's interest.

RE: Is BlueDragon.NET the greatest thing since sliced bread?

2005-03-29 Thread Micha Schopman
Calvin, 

Development speeds between them are pretty the same. I do C# development
as well as I did (and still do) CFML since the first CF versions. The
development speed more or less depends on the person and its knowledge
than on the language. 

If you have basic understanding of OOP and the basics of modifiers,
namespaces, etc. you will be starting quicker with the C# than the
average CF developer. .NET pretty much forces you to think object
oriented. I think that will be the most difficult part in the
transition. Getting used to the language just takes some time and makes
you wonder why in hell they made such an approach to method A and method
B when in CF it was just that. The opposite counts for C# as well :)

With Mono not up to shape the .NET platform is a Microsoft only
platform. So if you are running in any other environment choose J2EE.
There is a shift going on in enterprise companies, towards Windows 2003,
so I expect the J2EE market to slightly drop.

Either way, just give it shot, it won't bite.

RE: Is BlueDragon.NET the greatest thing since sliced bread?

2005-03-28 Thread Micha Schopman
Pete Freitag blogged about the new release. I really like some of the
features added. Truly amazing. They are not as big as for the cf reports
in CFMX7, but the sort of functionality added really helps in the daily
tasks on a recurring basis. I like it a lot.

CFCACHECONTENT - Partial page caching in a file or a database. 
CFFORWARD - Does a server side redirection (no client side location
headers like cflocation) 
CFIMAP - check email in an IMAP account 
CFIMAGE - resize an image 
CFZIP - create and read zip files 
CFXMLRPC - invoke a method using XML RPC 
CFTHROTTLE - used to throttle requests, if your db or something can't
handle the load. 
CFASSERT - a debugging tag that you can use to test an assertion (a
boolean expression). If the assertion fails an exception is thrown. 
CFCONTINUE - jumps to the next iteration in a loop 
CFDEBUGGER - writes a line to a log file for each line CFML code that's
has been executed 
CFBASE - creates an absolute URL that serves as the base for resolving
relative URLs within a CFML page 
CFPAUSE - causes the page to sleep.

Hey now, as a Joe who has a blog, I resemble that!

I installed BlueDragon on .NET for the first time the other day, and
found it a relatively smooth experience.  I expected to spend a day or
so making Model-Glue compatible, but it took about fifteen minutes,
and probably resulted in some better code overall.

Nice work, New Atlanta.

RE: Is BlueDragon.NET the greatest thing since sliced bread?

2005-03-28 Thread Vince Bonfanti
Excellent question. I'm giving a talk at CFUNITED-05 entitled, "CFML on
Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0: the .NET Advantage" on this specific topic.
This talk will discuss the advantages of .NET versus Java/J2EE on Windows
(it assumes you're already running Windows--this is not a Windows vs. Linux
talk).

In short, there are three main reasons to choose a .NET-based CFML server
over a Java/J2EE-based CFML server when running on Windows: performance and
reliability (which I cover in my talk), and platform integration with
ASP.NET and the .NET Framework.

For more on ASP.NET integration, Charlie Arehart is following with a talk
entitled, "Integrating CFML and ASP.NET Server Controls." Of course, Charlie
and I will be posting much of the information from these sessions on our
respective blogs, and I assume the session material will be on the
CFUNITED-05 web site after the conference is over.

I guess while I'm plugging both CFUNITED-05 and BlueDragon (is this still
on-topic?), for those more interested in free software--Linux, MySQL,
Apache--Dave Epler is giving a talk entitled, "LAMBDA Boxes: ColdFusion Apps
on the Cheap," which highlights the aforementioned open source products and
the free BlueDragon Server (LAMBDA stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL,
BlueDragon).

For more info on these and all the CFUNITED-05 sessions, see:

http://www.cfunited.com/topics.cfm

If you haven't yet made plans to attend CFUNITED, you really should (and,
yes, there's going to be a lot of great speakers and sessions about CFMX 7,
too--it's not a BlueDragon show).

The information in his blog is probably very relevant to CF,
and, I certainly don't mind some pointing me to the info
as an alternative to them posting it twice...the blog and here,
especially since lengthy posts get you a slap on the wrist here...

Too suspicious of ulterior motives...

And should we post information only on products
that are free to the community?  Since when is helping
the community and making money a crime?

Just hit the delete button if it offends...let the rest of us
benefit.

How about Ben drops a bi-weekly announcement of the WACK books under various

2005-03-28 Thread Brian Holder
i agree w/jordan - vince is a well-respected community advocate and bd is 
something that the community at large should be aware of and informed about.

i think that a discussion about whether the post is an advertisement or not 
(blatant, thinly-veiled, or otherwise) is moot - newatlanta is creating 
milestones in the cf world, imho, and i am interested in what vince has to say 
about their product.

cf-talk is the authoritative portal for disseminating relevant information to 
the community and i consider vince's post valid and relative.  

just my opinion - not a flame.

Wasn't the release of the product announced on this list when it occurred?

How about Ben drops a bi-weekly announcement of the WACK books under various
guises? And maybe Damon can re-announce Blackstone's release once a month
too?

I too consider this blatant and undesirable advertising, just as I would if
Damon or Ben did the same thing.

Jim probably just didn't realize that this post was from someone who
represents a leader in the CF community who only intends to talk about
CF-related stuff.

If some joe off the street started making posts about their blog in here
I might have the same reaction Jim did. ;)
