I'll be in Edinburgh later this month, and will get the chance to speak to the Scottish CFUG (for the first time) on Monday, January 26th. Topic and specifics have not been announced, so no details yet (although I think I can safely assume that we'll meet for drinks). Details should be posted...
My last Flex blog post demonstrated Flex as a ColdFusion client, a n-tier application using ColdFusion as the logic layer and Flex as the presentation layer.

The Salt Lake Tribune is running a story (by a Boston Globe columnist) on corporate bloggers, starting with the tale of a Microsoft employee who was fired for blogging "a photo of a pallet of Apple Macintosh computers being delivered to Microsoft headquarters". The story goes on to suggest that...
ZDNet is running a story on the emergence of Flash as an alternative to Windows Media Player, RealNetworks RealPlayer, and Apple's QuickTime. Nothing shockingly new, but useful perspective nonetheless. Story is at http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1107_2-5139102.html.

I'll be back in London at the end of this month, and so another visit to the UKCFUG. This time I'll be sneak peeking Macromedia Flex. Registration for this event is required, go to http://www.ukcfug.org/.

So, here it is: function query2tree(src) { // Define tree object var tree:XML = new XML(); // Define vars var recNo:Number, itemCount:Number; var rec:Object; var...
Stay on top of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission via NASA's Flash based M2K4 site at http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/m2k4/frameset.html. Animations, images, Mars surface exploration, trivia and more.
My ColdFusion Resources page lists columns, articles, presentations and more. Over the years the list has grown to the point that the page requires about eight page-down scrolls to see the entire two column list. So, this page seemed like an ideal first Flex app; a tree control showing categories...
