Average Rating:
Rating: - A different approach with good samples
Reality ColdFusion MX: Flash MX Integration was one of the first books to look at integrating two of the main MX products and did it from a different approach. Typically tech books walk you through code and act as a good tutorial and reference. This book presents 4 applications in case study fashion, which will disappoint some and please others. I recommend Reality ColdFusion MX: Flash MX Integration for those that have a good grasp of ColdFusion MX and an intermediate level of skill working within ... Read More
Rating: - Strong Start, Weak Finish
With the myraid of new features available to Web developers who link together the Flash MX, ColdFusion MX, and Flash Communication Server MX products from Macromedia, there's a lot to be learned in very little time. I purchased this book to get a jump on both Flash Remoting and working with the Flash Communication server product. The book excells in its first two thirds, covering the construction of real-world applications which use Flash MX at their core. Some may be annoyed by the focus on the entire ... Read More
Rating: - Decent introduction, but it's only an introduction
This book provides an acceptable introduction to Flash Remoting with CF, but there isn't enough code or explanation to allow you to start on your own until after you've learned both CF and Flash well independently. Also, at least 80% of the book talks about methodology, fake meetings, requirements gathering, and stuff like that--not the stated purpose of the book.
If you have extra time, I think it's worth a read, but if you can't read everything you want to, you're better off concentrating ... Read More
Rating: - alright
good content for those who already know flash and coldfusion. however, that said, still has some holes and seems somewhat rushed to print. not sure if will answer many of the questions those new to remoting (everyone!) will have. quite mediocre.
Rating: - A much needed book on good CF project planning
This book is not written for everyone. Even if you know your CFML and ActionScript it is best that you have developed a couple of projects first (before trying this book).
I personally like the layout of the book. Yes it takes a little getting use to. I did not realize some people disliked the unimaginative way most computer books are written. Having notes pasted in at odd angles gives the book a "real world" feel.
I have only looked at the mail client example, but from that I ... Read More
