BlueDragon's smart move

Here's one for you ... is .NET 2.0 better than ColdFusion? I wouldn't say better... but they did just release their Atlas tools for Ajax development... I haven't seen those yet... the server has to run Microsoft Windows, with .NET 2.0, and all that good stuff ... so it's restricted on the server side, but as long as they make the client side compatible with all browsers and platforms they should be o.k... there are so many toolkits out there that only work with IE, or don't want to work with Safari or Opera browsers.

I digress. BlueDragon announced that Atlas will be compatible with BlueDragon.net, which should be an interesting combination...

Google does it again: Flash and Ajax happy together

so who said it's Ajax OR Flash? It's been proven lately that they can co-exist and benefit from each other ... Flex released the Flex-Ajax-Bridge, Rob released Apocalypse :) Ajax and XML sockets, and now Google demonstrate to the world how it should be done.

It's a really nice mash-up of technologies and data, put together wish Ajax calls combined with Flash to make a unique user experience. I have a feeling that if Yahoo doesn't get up to speed soon Google will make all their products obsolete.

Go jo!

my dream came true: RDS for Eclipse

yes, that's right! RDS support for Eclipse was released.... finally. They've been talking about it for a while, but no it's official... I can finally get rid of homesite.
Thus far I've been using both, because sometime I do need RDS support... right, I shouldnt be using it for production, and I can setup ftp, yara iara yara... I like RDS because it's way faster than ftp.
