Re: iPhone Development
Web apps, you mean? Go grab the meta tag you need to lock the screen size, and the develop as normal. HTML, JS and CSS are virtually identical to the normal browser, mouse events are the biggest difference to deal with. cheers, barneyb On 1/3/09, Bryan Hogan wrote: > Can someone point me into the right direction to get started developing > iPhone applications with CFML?

Re: market rates
this question depends on what part the the UK you are. we had someone on a contract on £35 per hour but that was a short contract only 3 months and we really needed them. we advertised for someone with 2 years CF experience last year to work fully time at our offices, we found it VERY hard to find anyone! most stated they had CF experience but after the interview it was clear they did not! it took us 3 months to find someone and they started on £25k per year in the Midlands in London this would have been around £35k. I would say in the UK its 22-38k depending on experience. I have knew a fellow CF developer that left us and got a Job in London on 68k very much open, its all up to the person. I did find that Java developers ask for the same sort of salary if thats anything to go by. PHP developers are ten a penny here so thats not a good market to compare to, and 2 years + php developer we can get starting at 17k ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317349 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: market rates
Yeah I don't see those rates as being realistic for what someone would make at least in the US. No programmer would work for $10 an hour here. They pay the students at universities more than that.

Before posting here, I googled and found those links. They were very useful (I am not a gamer and this is all new to me). The background info does a good job of getting you up to speed on UDP and what might be possible with CFM. The only real problem is the author's com object is a .dll and, as I understand, that requires a windows installation. I could setup an additional Win CF system using Parallels. but I'd rather not. The author stated that CF didn't support UDP (at least until CFMX) so he wrote the com object. From this, I inferred that there might be native UDP support in the later versions of CF (or at least a Java com object replacement). With that capability, the solution should run on any platform supported by CFMX, true?

CF iPhone mutiplayer game host using UDP event gateway whatever?
Hi I have been away from CF for a few years. My latest activities have been learning Cocoa and Objective-C so I can program iPhone apps (mainly for friends and my own amazement). It's pretty cool to have all that power in your pocket! In an iPhone forum a question was asked: what/how to implement an Internet multiplayer option to an iPhone game he has already published. There are two basic needs: 1) Admin, Record keeping (user names, high scores), etc. 2) Interactive mulltiplayer play of the game CF/SQL seems a natural for 1 using a standard web server interface (HTTP/TCP). In this particular game (role playing) (HTTP/TCP) prolly would provide good enough performance to satisfy his needs. However, some of the more advanced iPhone games use fairly Hi-Res 2D and 3D graphics with fairly decent frame rates. The iPhone runs OS X (Unix), OpenGL ES and has a separate GPU. This type of game would require more frequent interaction and more data exchange. The HTTP/TCP connection and handshaking protocol, likely, has too much overhead to sustain frame rates on the client iPhones. Most games use the UDP protocol (connectionless, unordered, no packet delivery guarantee) with a specialized server app written in C++. .. I should mention here that all the heavy lifting is done on the iPhone clients-- the server only needs to send data such as the x/y/z coordinates of each player (plus some info on speed, weapon, direction). So, CF would not be serving the multiplayer graphic displays, rathet only the data needed by the iPhone clients to refresh their displays. If packets are lost, so what-- just a momentary lag until the next one comes along. Whew! Here are my questions: 1) Can the latest/greatest CF efficiently handle UDP through sockets or event gateways (or whatever) to make it a practical host of the multiplayer play? 2) Has anybody done this? 3) Any examples, code snippets? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
