What makes the web fun? Is it the cool applications like Google Maps, which are neat but not particularly fun? Is it social networks like Facebook? Sure, that’s a little fun. But what really gets passed around the web? Viral video. Nothing catches our interest like video and images, which is ironic, as the HTML technology for uploading media to web sites is one of the worst parts of browsers.

Whether you’re an enterprise developer working in a large shop or setting up a blog for yourself, you’ve almost certainly been tasked with keeping your development code in sync with some type of stable release. Whether a project is big or small, you still need to ensure that the core code you work with remains consistent. This article will walk you through the development of an Adobe AIR and AJAX application used to synchronize the modules of a site developed in Drupal, the popular free and open-source content management system used in thousands of sites across the Internet.

Drupal is a fantastically well featured, and free, content management system written in PHP. No wonder so many companies are using it internally or externally as one of their business applications. But often Drupal alone is not enough. It needs to be integrated or extended to match the needs of the organization. One way to extend it is on the front-end through something like an Ajax or Flex based widget.
Flex and PHP: Party in the Front, Business in the Back

Since the first time I really saw and understood what Flash was and did, I’ve been jealous of what Flash designers could do. Beyond just the cute animations for banner ads and games, Flash designers have always had a much more fine-grained control on their environment that HTML allows for. Besides my innate inability to design anything like a usable interface, the main drawback that has kept me from exploiting Flash is I never could get my head around the “Movie Timeline” metaphor for programming. As we say back home, “It just ain’t right.” That all changed with Flex. Now programmers can work with tools they are comfortable with and still take advantage of all of Flash’s…well, flash. Flex won’t help developers like me design eye-pleasing interfaces any more than a new pencil would improve my inability to draw. However, I can now put much more useful interfaces on my back-end code.

Recently I released a new project to help PHP developers get started with two Adobe web technologies: Ajax and Flex. (Flex is an Eclipse based plugin that helps software developers build applications that get delivered via the Flash player.) The (unofficial) Adobe PHP SDK contains samples and code in a single .zip file that show how to connect a PHP backend to two different front ends: Ajax for those who prefer HTML interfaces, and Flex for those that prefer a Flash interface.
