Couple new websites here that are worth noting: 1. GoIndie - http://www.goindie.com - cool new site about indie living, eating, travelling and DIY food stuffs. 2. CloudPointe - http://www.cloudxy.com - a cool new site for sharing documents online, and it lets you embed everything in your own website. 3. My home page! Yikes, I've never done one before. So here it is... I used a cool site called wix.com to built it. Of course I customized everything. http://www.schwabe.net cheers

CF United Update: Google App Engine + Flex

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:02:00 -0400

My talk at CFUnited has changed a bit... Since the topic was chosen a while back, Google has released a Java developer environment and eclipse plugin for Google App Engine (GAE). Since Java is a whole lot closer to CFML than python is, I've updated all my code and presentation to focus on the Java application architecture, and how to connect it to Flex. I've even got some tidbits on how to get CFML running on Google App Engine ! Be sure to come on out and learn about the exciting new "super scalable" web application system running on Google's free hosting infrastructure.

FusionDox 2009 is released!

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:53:00 -0400

After many months of hard work, we have released the 2009 edition of FusionDox. Lots of fun things in this edition, including PDF previews of documents, a document conversion API so you can write your own code to convert documents, split/merge PDFs and more. New Flex/AIR based FusionDox client (aka the FusionDox Authoring System) for live editing MS Office/OpenOffice documents directly through your browser, and it works for Macintosh and Linux computers too! There is some preliminary info online, with more to come. http://www.fusiondox.com/

I will be speaking at CF United 2009

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:19:00 -0400

I have been invited to speak at CFUnited 2009 in Leesburg, VA, August 12-15 2009. If you haven't attended CF United before, be sure to sign up, as it is a fantastic program, and a great place to network with some of the most skilled developers in the world. This will be the 5th CFUnited event that I have spoken at, and the second time I will be presenting on a Flex topic. This year I will be going through the architecture of building a Google App Engine (GAE) app, powered by Flex. This allows you to create an application hosted by Google's application architecture, and using a Flex application as the user interface. It's a mashup of multiple technologies, and should be a lot of fun. Be sure to stop by!

Finally, an updated blog and skin!

The last couple hours have been spent migrating data from my aging "BlogCFM" installation to my all new shiny "BlogCFC" setup. Hopefully everything translated well, and everybody will enjoy the more modern features of this setup including proper RSS feeds and del.icio.us integration etc. I've got some new Flex posts about ready, so stay tuned, and feel free to comment if you like the new site! For those interested, I found this nifty utility for exporting/importing data for BlogCFC here, and I wrote my own custom export for BlogCFM so that it exported in the format this utility expected. It went relatively painlessly... http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/11/30/BlogCFC-ExportImport-Code
