San Diego Department of Child Support Services (SDDCSS) has been using ColdFusion for years, and they have built and deployed innovative systems that truly do make a difference in the lives of children and their families. They've now built a new version of their solution, this time using ColdFusion and LiveCycle Data Services on the backend, and Flex and AIR on the client. SearchSOA.com is running a story on this project entitled Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) melds with ColdFusion - builds calendaring system for child services agency, and explains in detail why ColdFusion was chosen, why it is still the platform of choice, and how ColdFusion is being used in conjunction with AIR and Flex.
Since MAX 2004 in New Orleans, I've presented to one extent or another around the theme of architectural best-practices for delivering enterprise applications upon Adobe technologies.  This year is no different, and I'm very much looking forward to presenting with one of my colleagues from our Chicago Office, Tunde Turner, on our collective experiences within Adobe Consulting in delivering Enterprise Rich Internet Applications that leverage Flex and LiveCycle ES. In previous years, I'd like to think that we illuminated many ideas around software architecture as it would apply to Rich Internet Applications, through presenting and contributing around the Cairngorm...

I was digging up some really old links while preparing for my Flash Forward presentation. Ran across Gabriel Mulzer’s old site, http://www.voxangelica.net. Amazing, it’s still up there. Remember the ice queen? I learned the basics of 3D from a chapter Gabriel wrote in some book by Friends of ED back in those days. Wonder what he’s [...]

I’m not sure I buy all of his points, but the overall argument for simplicity makes sense. Incidentally we have something similar in Issuu’s layout language, although in a [...]
