ColdFusion Open-Source Update - June 9, 2009

Posted on Jun 09, 2009

Two new projects and four updates this week. Apparently the OO vs Procedural debate continues to rage on comment threads throughout the ColdFusion community. Thankfully, I am much saner this week having unsubscribed from all the comment threads. However, when you all have bridged that divide and solved the divide in the ColdFusion community, feel free to let me know.
