ColdFusion Open-Source Update - December 15, 2009
Posted on Dec 15, 2009
Two new projects and three updates to ColdFusion open source projects this week. I was particularly interested in Terrence Ryan's discussion of Apptacular. He hasn't released code yet but the videos make this look like an impressive code generation/scaffolding application. It leads into my thoughts on how my own Illudium project fits in a world of ColdFusion Builder extensions and ORM. I've been debating either a complete rebuild as an extension or simply end of lifeing the project. Terry may have put the final nail in Marvin's coffin. Terrence Ryan, Martian Killer.
