ColdFusion Open-Source Update - December 1, 2008
Posted on Dec 01, 2008
One new project and one update this week. Looks like we hit a bit of a lull over the Thanksgiving week. I guess too much tryptophan can cut into an open-source developer's productivity (what's the excuse from the int'l folks?). Nonetheless, this week we appear to have an ongoing "Battle of the Transfer Tutorial All-Stars." Enjoy!
