In 2006 Adobe open sourced the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2), I started to work on the open source project redtamarin on 2008, and now I can finally show a web site entirely programmed with ActionScript 3.0 on the backend.

here the basic software stack:

   - Linux Ubuntu 64-bit for the operating system
   - Apache for the HTTP server
   - Redtamarin for the backend programming
   - CouchDB for the database
everything is handled by one single ABC (actionscript bytecode) file, I did that at first to keep things simple but in fact it is extremely convenient to have a whole web site logic compile to a single file.

All in all developing a full web site in AS3 has been a great experience and I do hope it will show around that with redtamarin you can build real products and not just toying around. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions
