ColdFusion Open-Source Update - July 28, 2009
Posted on Jul 28, 2009
Seven new projects and ten updates over the past two weeks. You all clearly didn't cut me a break over my vacation, releasing a crazy amount of new projects and updates. Clearly, when I get to CFUnited in a couple weeks, I will have to set you all straight! Oh, and if you didn't already hear, I announced my latest event in Boston focused on Flex and ColdFusion which you can find at RIAUnleashed.com. Hope to see you there.
