OSS Remoting round-up

AMFPHP

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...

New Release of NaturalGUI. NET

Daniel at Protozoo has released a new version of his NaturalDocs front end NaturalGui .Net.

This new release adds a new feature and also a bug fix

  • New Feature: The Input, Output & Exclude pathnames can be edited in their windows by double clicking on them
  • Bug Fix: The pathname where NaturalDocs / NaturalGui is run from can now contain spaces

If your running NaturalDocs and are working on a PC then this is an essential download.

New Release of NaturalGUI. NET

Well I’ve been having lots of fun with NaturalDocs. (If fun’s the right word for documenting code!)

Dani at protozoo.com has just released a new beta of his .NET based NaturalGUI tool, there’s a few new features which make this an essential download.

  • Load/Save settings
  • Support for the framedHTML output option.
  • Source code available.

    • I also found Richard Leggett has written a NaturalGUI in Java which is very good too and the source is also available. Being Java based it also helps out Mac and Linux users too. Unfortunately it lacks the save/load settings functionality right now, but this isn’t a huge drawback.
