DRK4 was released today and it has some nice Flash and ColdFusion content. The graphics library is very well done and the Polling application is a great example of combining Flash, ColdFusion, and Dreamweaver.

DRK4 also includes updated charting components, which are a major improvement over the original components. However, If you will be using charting in your applications I’d suggest taking a look at B-Line Charting Components which includes many more charts and are in constant development to add new features, like animations and native XML support.

Mike and Christian did a great job with Pollster. The Flash application is object oriented with the different states of the application clearly separated into different movie clips termed “Screens” and very easy to follow. The ColdFusion portion has a complete separation between user interaction code, database interaction, business logic, and front-end-facades. This is a very good sample application to learn from. Kudos to both of them for that.
