OSS Remoting round-up

Robert Anton Wilson needs your help… FDT 1.5 Released

AMFPHP provides a server-side data transport layer, which enables server process calls that return objects which are native to the Flash platform, no XML or other text based format deserialising needs to take place. The advantages should be obvious.

Red5

Red5 is a very ambitious project which is still at the 0.5 / 0.6 development so not quite ready for primetime at this stage, even so, it is looking like a very promising OSS replacement for Flash Comm Server. I will be keeping an eye on this and see how it matures, it provides all the additional multimedia functionality that FlashComm Server provides (ie. Video and Audio streaming) as well as the regular AMF data transport.

The rest

There are a few other AMF / Remoting options available...

There are also options for Rails (http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/rubyonrails/) and Perl (http://www.simonf.com/flap/). AMF::Perl has far less features than its PHP counterpart, but it works great.
