...Jaxer changes all that. Jaxer is the world's first true Ajax server. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are native to Jaxer, as are XMLHttpRequests, JSON, DOM scripting, etc. And as a server it offers access to databases, files, and networking, as well as logging, process management, scalability, security, integration APIs, and extensibilityYou can get it as part of the IDE or download the standalone server, for Windows, Mac and Linux. I dont find this surprising really, since Paul Colton, the CEO and founder is the man behind JRun! Awesome stuff, and I hope to get some examples up to show you soon!

Mark to the MAX!
October 12, 2007 ·
It has been a while since I blogged, basically I have been so busy I forget to breathe sometimes. Anyway, the good news is that I am heading to Adobe MAX Europe in Barcelona on Sunday!
I think this is going to be an awesome conference, one that I am very much looking forward to, especially since I am a MAX virgin!
Apart from trying to attend as many presentations as possible on Flex and AJAX, I shall (surprise! surprise!) also be a speaker! My presentation is on using Eclipse for ColdFusion development, which is a slightly different take on my usual presentation (ok, ok, you caught me, I will be mentioning CFEclipse) as it will cover a lot more ground that I usually do!
One of the important decisions that I have left now is whether I shall be doing the presentation in English or in Spanish, not sure what the rule is here? When in Rome?...

Want me to present at your CFUG or meeting?
July 23, 2007 ·
Do you need someone to present at your CFUG? Well, I have been doing a lot of presentations lately, which can be seen over in my Presentations page, which means I have a lot of content I can present on. If you have a specific topic (including CFEclipse of course!) Why not email me with your proposal and I shall see what I can do.
I am based in London, England so unless there is a nice budget to fly me out, I can also do remote presentations using Adobe Connect. I am available in the evenings mostly so let me know if you ever need an extra presenter at your CFUG or company.

Flights ready for Scotch!
May 13, 2007 ·
I have just booked my flights (is it really worth it to go from London to Edinburgh?) to Scotch!
I shall be getting there on Wednesday night and leaving on Saturday, so its a pretty brief time away, in a way, that is good, allows me to get everything ready for my CFEclipse presentation (more software than presentation) as well as the CF8 AJAX presentation later on in the day.
Now that is 2 reasons you should go to Scotch, nevermind the free beer in the ColdFusion Celebration!
Now to find a hotel (the conference is not in a hotel for a change!)...

Complete List of Web2.0 Products
February 12, 2006 ·
I am not sure if I like the terminology of "Web 2.0". I thought most of the things were pointles AJAX implementations (dont even get me started on the X in AJAX, its bloated! I prefer JSON but I am sure that AJAJ just sounds like you clearing your throat) but here is a great list of all the AJAX (grrr) and Web 2.0 applications:

Whats in your Toolbox?
February 02, 2006 ·
I have been using Mark Kruse's Javascript toolbox site for a while to download those Javascript functions that you just need NOW! I spotted that he has finally moved his scripts to its own site! Javascript Toolbox is a great site full of easy to implement functions such as a DHTML tree, all the select box functions you would need (sorting, moving, multiple selects etc). He also has started http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com/ with some great libraries! Just what the JS doctor ordered!
JSON and Ajax
November 30, 2005 ·
When you are doing AJAX applications, you pass data back to the calling page, some of the examples I have seen are in XML and you then do some parsing of that XML in JavaScript.
I found the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) library a while ago, but finally managed to use it. Basically it gives you a way to pass complex objects in JavaScript back so you dont need to parse them as such.
There are is also UDF's for coldfusion that can convert CF objects to JavaScript objects. Something like WDDX (which I am also going to give a little whirl in my testing of ajax libraries and methods)

How to annoy customers
November 30, 2005 ·
So, I took the plunge and decided to get cable tv. I know, I know.. I should already be hooked into this but hell, I watch movies mainly rather than mainstream TV but I thought, I am going to have a few weeks off and it will be nice to have some good TV to watch (ok, debatable) but also the fact that I get terrible reception through the aerial, so much so that most of the time I think I am drunk.
So, I asked NTL to come round and install the cable box. I already have broadband with them so it shouldnt be too difficult since basically I just need the damn box.
They were booked in from 12 till 6 today. So I took the day off... to wait. And wait. And wait.
So its 7pm now and they have gone awol. Got a few calls from NTL saying that they are on their way. Then told that they had been round earlier in the day (I think NOT!)
What a waste of a day! At least it gave me a chance to work on my little ajax store, that little by little I am getting it to work. (you can see it here
Dont use NTL.
Patterns Everywhere
November 28, 2005 ·
Thought I would recommend a site, that I stumbled upon linked from ajform website that I blogged about a couple of days ago, AJAX Patterns seems like a great site (well a Wiki) to get all your AJAX related patterns to help you develop your dynamic applications better.
I am currently having a look at a number of AJAX implementations and will be creating a sample application in each to see how easy they are to implement.
If you have any ideas for an application (e.g. like the PetStore application) that you would like to see developed in AJAX so we can compare, sent me a note.
