Asql , What it means for developers
I really think ASql is the most underrated , unnoticed actionscript library ever. Asql basically eliminates the middle tier in "most" web applications. The middle tier can be Coldfusion, Dot Net , or anything that is being used to communicate to your database to fetch query's and get results. This means two things, 1) If you are developing a small database interactive application and you don't know PHP,and you don't want to pay for Coldfusion hosting on your web host then ASQL is a godsend. Another thing (I am not sure about this) is that this will effectively speed up your query's, because instead of flex having to communicate to coldfusion, coldfusion cfcs processing the request to the database and then the database returning the results to the method called by Coldfusion, then the method doing what it is suppose to do, and finally returning what the user wanted back to flex, instead of this process , using ASQL Flex only has to communicate to the database and the database returns the data, after the AVM2 is so fast that it can do the processing of the query in a jiffy.

What I want to do with ASQL is help the developer (Mooska)  out and make it much better, I have started modifying the code (ASQL IS OPEN SOURCE!), however i really want to get involved in this project. If the developer of ASQL is reading this then comment and well get in touch (If you want).
