Loving the show from Barcelona :-)
I'm gonna start feeling bad, John does not of the write-ups, but I'm usually the first to make these sort of changes; which means my name usually trumps his on the site. :-)
So you guys use ColdFusion, instead of PHP for remoting, from what I've gathered from previous podcasts. Is this the ultimately, best way to handle remote services?
Cool Thanks for the info on Zend
I don't know that I'd say "best" but it's definitely a most supported and most "out of the box" since CF and Flex can talk easily and trade objects, and such. It's definitely an easy way to move data to and from the back end easily in Flex/AIR apps.
ILOG Elixir 2.0 is under development and we welcome preview testers. 2.0 will include enhancements to existing components plus brand new ones: calendar, digital indicators, olap & pivot charts, task chart and heatmap. A new preview actually went out on Friday. See: http://blogs.ilog.com/elixir/2008/09/27/ilog-elixi...
Thanks Jon & Jeffrey for this interesting podcast!

Great! Thanks for the feedback, good to know!
