Serializing to/from Adobe AMF in C#/Mono?

Using Zend_Amf it's possible to serialize php objects to/from Adobe AMF format. Is there an equivalent library for serializing/unserializing C# objects to/from AMF? I'm working in Mono 2.4.

Flash/As3 and Pixel-Bender: Realtime manipulation of video sound?

As3: Plotting text as in technical drawings

- by Cambiata

Hi! Flash/Actionscript 3 lack the possibility to "draw" text to a displayobject graphics - a textfield has to be created, added and set. This is rather clumsy and time consuming. In the wait for simple and stable alternatives (for example http://lab.polygonal.de/2009/12/15/font-rendering-with-the-fp10-drawing-api/), is there a class or library for simply plotting text strings using graphical primitives (lines), something like the text is "drawn" on plotted technical drawings?

Beginning GWT and Java - wich is the best route when coming from LAMP background?

- by Cambiata

Hi! I've worked a lot with php/mysql on linux servers, including frameworks, orm etc. Now I want to give GWT and Java a try! Installing GWT SDK, Eclipse plugin etc and running a "Hello world" is no problem... The server is running automagically in the background... But when it comes to setting it up my self, there seems to be confusingly many options. Jetty? Tomcat? Glassfish? How are those related/combinable to/with Apache? Are there any good resources or tutorials for setting up java development and server environments suited for one like me with PHP background? Maybe pointing out the possiblities of running PHP and Java on the same server? Regards / Jonas

Haxe app and Gtk-WARNING on linux servers

- by Cambiata

Hi! I'm trying a Haxe-compiled solution called FAR (Flash Archiver) created by Edwin Van Rijkom (http://code.google.com/p/vanrijkom-flashlibs/) wich uses a command-line tool for creating compressed archives. When running the FAR tool locally on my ubuntu laptop, everything works fine. When running remotely (terminal as Root) on my Ubuntu and Debian servers, it gives the following error: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I've tried to reach Edvin about this, but no response so far. Maybe it has something to do with installation or user rights on the server? Any clue?

Client agnostic solutions for RESTful resource security/authentication etc.?

- by Cambiata

Hi! I'm about to replace my oldfashioned sessionbased server solutions with RESTful ones. Where can I find information about design principles concerning security, authentication etc. when moving into this stateless domain? I need to find solutions that work with different client platforms (Flex/Air, Browser, desktop and mobile apps etc.). Right now I work with php in the server end.
