ColdFusion Open Source Update - July 27, 2010
Posted on Jul 27, 2010
Five new projects and two updates in ColdFusion open source this week. CFUnited, which begins tonight, completes what has been a crazy month for me and seen me criss-crossing the country for various trips. Nonetheless, this should be both fun and exciting and I expect many announcements to come (I personally recall Liz Frederick, Adam Lehman and Ray Camden have each hinted they have some announcements via Twitter). I, personally, have 2 sessions at CFUnited including an intro to Flex for CF developers and another about building ColdFusion Builder extensions. Anyway, for those of you who are attending, be sure to stop me and say hello.
