Windows Azure is Microsoft’s new Cloud Computing System and provides opportunity to run your ASP.NET websites combined with permanently running “worker” applications and an integrated storage system. While promoting its support for C# and Basic it’s possible to run any other language or native application in there as well … and so it’s supporting PHP, too.

Embedding SWF in PHPWCMS
Online
Comments Off
Looking for an out-of-box solution for embedding SWF movie in PHPWCMS I didn’t succeed. Content Part “Multimedia” is doing something strange by embedding one object tag inside of another one and it’s including parameters not required for some vanilla embedding of SWF e.g. to have a small Flash animation for on-page navigation or advertisement. The other Flash-related content part “Flashplayer” is integrating a Flash-based player for several kinds of multimedia files and thus not providing clean and simple solution here as well.

Dojo in Action on a new Advertising Website
Announcements
Comments Off
I’d like to announce final release of an advertising website build on Dojo Toolkit to achieve a living presentation of information including visible features like multi-layer web design and animations as well as features behind the scene including automatic column break insertion and AJAJ for asynchronous retrieval of content defined in YAML. By implementing visuals in JavaScript instead of relying on plugins like Flash this site is available to mobile users, too. Search engines get a reduced HTML version of contained information to enhance possibility to index the site’s content.
As a constantly developing project there are plans to integrate further kinds of multimedia as well as to try additional ways of navigation to make those new kinds of multimedia accessible in a clear and simple way.
You’re invited to take a look at it.
