ColdFusion Open-Source Update - December 8, 2008
Posted on Dec 08, 2008
Three new projects and four updates this week. This week I am running Flex Camp Boston, which I am very excited about. However, the big news this week is that my Dolphins are tied for the lead in the AFC East. Yes, that's the same Dolphins that barely got a single win last year. Granted, winning the AFC East is like climbing a large hill and claiming its Mt. Everest, but nonetheless they have the benefit of incredibly low expectations. Oh...you want ColdFusion Open-Source? Alrighty.
