RIA Development with Adobe Flex and Flash

Miss the local Atlanta ColdFusion User Group meeting last week? No worries, you can check out the Acrobat Connect recorded session online at: Document-driven Applications with Adobe ColdFusion 8 and PDF - Josh Adams

Adobe has set the official release date of ColdFusion 8 for July 30th. Now faster than ever, ColdFusion 8 means fewer lines of code and easier fine-tuning. The result is better applications in less time, as well as improved integration across the enterprise.

We predict that with this new version, many developers are going to need training to get up-to-speed on the new features. Highlights of the new release include an improved Server Monitor to fix bugs and bottlenecks before deployment, PDF document and form integration features, plus freedom to create personalized, multimedia-rich applications in Adobe Flex or Ajax.

Adobe Systems has now released a preview version of ColdFusion 8 to the Adobe Labs website. Here you can dowload the latest version of ColdFusion and there are some great online videos to get you into the new features fast. Some of the new features listed give you the power to easliy work with Flex to create personalized, multimedia-rich applications and Acrobat form integration. Sounds good to me ….
