It was probably one of those random facts I'd filed away when I didn't need to care for when I did. I suspect I'm not uncommon in knowing that that's where you go when you want to set up PHP painlessly on your machine. I think that it's a good habit to get into when you're a developer of any kind to note and possibly even bookmark information that might be of use later. An important difference between ColdFusion and php, as you rightly pointed out, is that php is installed on the server only--you don't need any special software to write php code, and you don't need any background knowledge other than what you need for any other web technoloty. I don't know much about ColdFusion, but I do know that the pages are compiled, so I wouldn't be able to just walk in and use CF without at least figuring out how to go from source code to compiled whatever. There are probably several other things like that that you need to learn in CF before you can actually become productive, so it's not just installation time, it's that whole other mass of stuff you need to know before you can use CF. Whereas, with PHP, if you have a basic knowledge of html, css, and database connectivity you're pretty much set with a WAMP installation and a link to the PHP docs. I guess it also depends on your motivation for wanting to install PHP. If you're wanting to enhance your skill set for potential employers, of course you want to be able to say that you have the skills that commonly go along with php--Apache and mySQL. I think most people would find php by itself of limited use.

I suspect I'm not uncommon in knowing that that's where you go when you want to set up PHP painlessly on your machine. In that case, I am the anomaly. Because this thread is the first I've heard of WAMP. Granted I don't normally travel in PHP Developer circles, but neither (I suspect) would most newbies to the technology. An important difference between ColdFusion and php, as you rightly pointed out, is that php is installed on the server only--you don't need any special software to write php code, I'm sorry if I communicated this; as it is completely untrue and not something I intended to say. ColdFusion code (CFML) can be written in any text editor, including notepad if you really wanted to. and you don't need any background knowledge other than what you need for any other web technoloty. I don't know much about ColdFusion, but I do know that the pages are compiled, so I wouldn't be able to just walk in and use CF without at least figuring out how to go from source code to compiled whatever. You're understanding is incomplete. ColdFusion is a server side technology. Pages are compiled on the fly by the server and cached in memory. The developer has to do nothing.special other than write CFML in their HTML pages and give them a 'cfm' extension. Is PHP any different? As far as I understand, it is not. There are probably several other things like that that you need to learn in CF before you can actually become productive, so it's not just installation time, it's that whole other mass of stuff you need to know before you can use CF. I would argue that this is not unique to CF. Despite your earlier claim that anyone who knows web technology can start doing PHP immediately, I doubt an HTML / CSS / Designer person w/ no programming knowledge / experience would be able to pick it up and go. There will be a learning curve. In that respect, there is no difference between CF and PHP.

SQL? CSS? HTML? oh wait, you need to know the same for PHP, don't you? no, you don't need to know any sort of mass of stuff to work w/cf (well other than cf but then again you need to know PHP before you can develop applications w/it too). it seems your opinions about cf are pretty much all wrong.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
Although I prefer open source software, it's true that most of the time it's harder to use an open source version that a paid for equivalent. Coldfusion is easier to setup than PHP, Photoshop or Word are more user friendly than Gimp or OpenOffice and so on. Open source software is free but you're kind of expected to make more efforts to use it - i.e. read the doc, search Google. Once you are used to it though, it's just as good as the paid equivalents. -- Laurent Cozic Flash, Flex and Web Application development http://pogopixels.com --- On Fri, 2/20/09, Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com wrote: From: Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, February 20, 2009, 4:29 PM It's easy to get things done / setup if you already know what you're doing.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
Ruby on Rails is interesting because of the little amount of code you need to write, compared to Java for example. My RoR back end server deals with the database (Oracle in my case) and communicates with a Flex front end via XML. Of course, you can use AMF, but in my situation I don't have such high performance requirements. Chris.
[flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
I recommend you take a serious look at ColdFusion . Here is an Adobe site that talks the features and benefits of building RIAs with Adobe Flex/ColdFusion. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_cf.html It is clearly the best fit promoted by Adobe. Adobe does a lot of work to bring Flex and CF together, such as out-of-the-flex support within CF. I agree. Any software language can meet any requirement. But, from my 20 years of doing/managing development in many different server technologies ... CF is by far the fastest to train, learn and implement rapidly. Since you know php, adding CF to your skill set will be any easy route to take. After all, ColdFusion is Javajust a heck of a lot easier. Good thing that Flex is Flexible and you can choose. I have some Flex apps that use CF, .Net, and Java on the back-end ... since in a Web 2.0/SOA architecture ... you can have many backends to a single Flex app. ... and the end user doesn't care what shop or camp your technology religion is anyway. :) Give CF a try.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
The ColdFusion is Dead argument has come up somewhere every 6 months for the past 8 years. I perceive, from Adobe's stand point that CF is a stable product showing consistent growth. CF was designed for web development and that is something that it does wonderfully well. But, that makes it a niche product when compared to .NET or Java which are the end all to any programming need. To give a few indications of the market: 1) There are CFML alternatives to Adobe's ColdFusion, including open source ones. Check out Open BlueDragon, Railo, (both Java based like CF), or BlueDragon.NET (runs on .NET ). Obviously someone must think there is a market. WebORB also has a ColdFusion specific version. 2) After Allaire was acquired by Macromedia; the number of developers was estimated at 350K. Today it is estimated at ~500K. ( http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/adobecoldfusionevangelismkit.pdf ) . Even if the number of Flex Developer's grow 100%, there will still be less Flex Developer's than CF Developers. OF course Flex and CF are treated differently because Flex is viewed as a growth market, while CF is stable / mature. And dollar for dollar, you get a lot of stuff built in to CF that would be add-ons to other platforms.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
They are all popular. I think the .Net platform is growing while Java is diminishing but I may be misinformed and that may be temporary. I personally prefer the .Net platform and C#. You seem to know PHP so that may be the fastest way for you to leverage your knowledge. No matter what server side platform / language you choose, I advise you to look into AMF as a communication protocol. There are several gateways for each of the languages (Like FluorineFX for .Net, Zend AMF for PHP etc). In this area, Java is possibly the most interesting language since it offers you a way into Red5 and BlazeDS.
