Shlomy Gantz has released an update to his code code generator and asks for feature requests for version 2.1 upcoming.

RSS.cfc
Lastly, I released an RSS component that can ease reading RSS feeds and displaying them in ColdFusion. You can find it here. I am hoping to update the underlying Java Library it uses to the Rome library in the near future so that I can better support writing RSS and to support things like multuple categories and multiple attachments.

Thanks to google for releasing the Google Notebook, as it greatly eased keeping track of all these posts. As always, if I missed anything be sure to let me know.

Comments

Hey, great work. Any chance you would make your notebook for this public?
