If only I could talk about what I am doing in my spare time right now... *sniff* between Macromedia's pending releases and my daughter going to kindergarden, it is almost enough to make a man cry. Look how far they have come!

I'm the Flash evangelist over at CF Dev and what I love the most about Flash is the possibilty of building forms with advanced state management and validation capabilities in a fraction of the time it takes to do the same thing with other technologies. These forms require less code, are cross-browser compatible and easily scalable (clustered servers). They're object-oriented forms and the probl em has been that it is very difficult to do the first time. I'm guessing that Flash MX/CF MX will make this development much easier a nd therefore strengthen CF. And Flash and Neo..... Don't get me started!
