With the release of ColdFusion 9, we've managed to infiltrate the UK's largest Web Design/Development magazine, .net mag, and write a tutorial on ColdFusion as a Service.

In this tutorial, FO senior developer Matt Gifford and myself, explain how you can build Flex and AIR apps that utilise ColdFusion features without writing a single line of ColdFusion code.

The demo app we've written allows you to drag and drop an image onto the app, and then by calling these backend ColdFusion services, rotate and resize the image, and finally, email the manipulated image to a user specified email address.

Other services that can be utilised include; PDF creation, word to PDF conversion, charting and more.

The November issue is out October 13th so pick up a copy as soon as you can.
