ColdFusion Open-Source Update - May 4, 2009
Posted on May 04, 2009
One new project and four updates this week. Everyone in the ColdFusion community is gearing up for cf.Objective(). Sadly, I will be missing my first cf.Objective() this year as I couldn't manage it with my schedule and a previous commitment to go to 360|Flex which is the following week. Nonetheless, if sounds like it will be a great conference and I look forward to reading the session summaries.
