PHP Conference in New York - Wrap Up

Allen Seirafi and I attended the New York PHP conference last week, and had a great reception to Adobe Flex.  We showed off demos of Flex front ends to Gallery, a new admin screen for Drupal and other cool looking components from Ely Greenfield.

Here are a few reminders for PHP developers:

1.  The Flex SDK will be available for no charge.  So, if you want to develop cool applications using ActionScript and code in VI or Notepad as opposed to Flex Builder, you can do so at no charge.

2.  The graphing components will be not be bundled with Flex Builder, but will instead be sold seperately.

3.  You can download Flex Builder, Flex Data Services, the SDK and the charting components right now from labs.adobe.com.

4.  If you want to connect to a PHP backend, you'll want AMFPHP.  Once you've got that, you'll want to read the tutorials that I wrote on how to integrate that with Flex.

There are already some companies doing cool things with PHP and Flex.  Keep me posted on anything that you're developing.

Is there more info (screens or code) on the Drupal admin! Omar Gonzalez and I talked about trying this during our Flex 2 class after trying out your Gallery Flex.

Awesome.
[ Here is a .zip file that contains both the Flash theme, as well as the .mxml code for the Flex components that are used. Download file. - Mike ]

Is there a charge for the deployment server? Do you need to deploy to a Web App container like BEA or something?
