http://www.philduba.com/index.cfm This blog covers my adventures in web application development centering on Adobe's ColdFusion and Flex technologies with tangents into Adobe AIR, ASP.NET, PHP and Java. My goal as a web developer is to try and understand the aforementioned web-related technologies to a level in which I can build a fully functional system. This blog will track my progress, show the things I have learned, and what I may be currently working on. en-us Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:25:33 -0400 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:25:00 -0400 BlogCFC http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss blog@philduba.com blog@philduba.com http://www.philduba.com/index.cfm/2007/8/22/AIR-HTMLbased-App Ok, the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex">Flex</a> one was pretty easy, but using <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver">Dreamweaver</a>'s extension for making a site an <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/air">Adobe AIR Application</a> made things way too easy. It literally took me two-clicks to convert my site to an AIR app. Not sure about the whole site usage, but I'm guessing that's about the only way to get Dreamweaver to recognize what it needs to package. I'm starting to get all excited about AIR. I think I have an idea for an app that will help me learn all the new features of <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion">ColdFusion 8</a>, <a href="http://www.adobe.com/produts/flex">Flex</a>, AJAX, and then, finally, <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/air">AIR</a>.

In this series, I assume no prior knowledge of HTML, and later, ColdFusion. The first part of this series will involve building a static site using HTML and CSS only. The second part of the series will focus on a few areas of the site where dynamic and controlled access make sense, like a news area or player information. <br />So, what are we building? With an ode to the ongoing World Cup, we will build a website for a soccer team. Specifically, this site will have the following areas:<br /><ul><li>Home page with news items plus detail areas for the news<br /></li><li>Schedule for upcoming and previous matches with result details</li><li>Roster sheet with player profiles</li><li>Team stats page</li><li>A league wide standings area</li><li>Gallery of action photos<br /></li><li>History/About page</li><li>More detailed News area by category</li></ul>Required items for this series of articles will increase as we go through each article. At first, since we are dealing with plain web pages, the only items needed are an editor to create an HTML page (Notepad works fine, but you can use Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe&#39;s dreamweaver or any other tool). I will use <a href="http://www.cfeclipse.org/" target="_blank">CFEclipse</a> with the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/" target="_blank">Web Tools Platfrom </a> of <a href="http://www.eclipse.org" target="_blank">Eclipse</a>. The other tool you will need is a browser, either Internet Explorer or Firefox. The goal will be to create an article every-other-day until we have a nice series that can take someone from no or little HTML knowledge to being capable of simple HTML/ColdFusion websites.
