ESRI is an industry leader in the GIS space, and their ArcGIS Server provides Internet and Web oriented GIS and spatial data services for your own applications.

Thanks to Jason Harris for bringing this one to my attention. PS Did you notice that the ESRI sites linked to above are powered by ColdFusion?

I'm just back from my holidays (two awesome days spent at the Seychelles islands) and I've found the great news about the announcements of Flex 4 SDK and Thermo at MAX Conference 2008 (from Matt Chotin blog): The Flex development team has been very busy lately and last night they posted a ton of code and documentation on the next version of the Flex framework codenamed "Gumbo". "Gumbo" is the framework that will enable much richer application UI and break free of the more rigid look and feel of todays Flex applications. It is also the framework that will be powering applications made with "Thermo".

Towards the end of last year, Charles wondered how RIA technologies can enhance usability in E-commerce sites. His main ideas were rotatable and magnifiable images, and an easily browsable gallery. I have come across very few websites that use RIAs not just for the main pages but also the stores. Coyote Store is one such website, [...]
