Analysts at Gartner Praise CF

May 14, 2009 4:47 PM

Mark Driver recently published a Gartner analyst note on ColdFusion which recommends that agencies and companies continue their investment in CF, as it has a strong future with Adobe and is continuing to grow its market.

The ColdFusion note / report can be purchased from Gartner.

Other quotes from Mark in the note:

"...ColdFusion can provide unique value that is not fully addressed by any competing alternative technology. Most notably, ColdFusion is unmatched by any competitor for ease of use and technical capabilities. When we combine this with cross-platform deployment,and significant integration into both Java and .NET, ColdFusion stands out as a compelling solution for many IT challenges."

Boston University Social Networking Site via ColdFusion

January 9, 2009 2:55 PM

Boston University's IT team recently built a Facebook-like site for their business school... a la ColdFusion with just one CF developer in 9 weeks. Mass High Tech published an article on it.

Quick excerpt:

"The system was developed by one programmer over nine weeks using Adobe Inc.'s ColdFusion and Oracle Corp.'s Oracle Database, DeFronzo said. "It's actually pretty slick for nine weeks," DeFronzo said.

The network cost the school nothing more than nine weeks of the programmer's salary -- BU already had the ColdFusion and Oracle licenses. The system provides navigational links to Facebook, sports a portal to integrate information from LinkedIn profiles, and supports Google Inc.'s Gadgets. DeFronzo also plans to integrate the social network with student meal accounts, administration accounts, automated course evaluations, grades and schedules."

New ColdFusion IDE - BOLT announced at MAX

November 18, 2008 2:24 PM

Finally I can talk about this out loud. We announced just minutes ago in the day 2 key note at MAX that the CF team at Adobe is hard at work on an Eclipse based IDE for ColdFusion development, codenamed Bolt. The codename Bolt comes from some nostalgia of the past lightning bolt in the old CF logo but also reminds us that CF is RAD and we're commmitted to giving CF developers more RAD tools and features. Bolt will be tightly integrated with Centaur, but will be a separate product release and available separately from Centaur. Similar to Gumbo, with which Bolt is also tightly integrated, Bolt is another perspective in Eclipse, specifically for CF development. Bolt will make creating traditional web applicatons faster and RIA dev easier than ever. Some features of Bolt announced today are:
