CFinNC : (not a) Keynote

Check out the Adobe keynote from CFinNC, a regional ColdFusion/Flex conference in Raleigh, NC. Actually, it's not really a keynote. It's more of a general session. Since it was just one week after MAX and the official launch of ColdFusion 9, there are no new surprises here. This presentation is an overview of ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion Builder w/o any marketing!

ColdFusion 9 DVD Contains ColdFusion 8

We've received a number of reports regarding an error with the DVD replication process for ColdFusion 9. It appears that some of the physical media DVDs for ColdFusion 9 contain the installers for ColdFusion 8. While the DVD label and packaging say "ColdFusion 9", it is in fact the ColdFusion 8 DVD. The serial number enclosed on the packaging is correct and will work with a ColdFusion 9 installer.

By now I'm sure you've read that ColdFusion 9 was officially released at Adobe MAX. It's been a long journey and I almost can't believe we finally reached the end. I'm sure there will be plenty of blog posts circulating on how to leverage all the functionality of ColdFusion. This is not one of those posts. Instead, this is a post to say thanks.

Speech vs. Beer: Why All Open Source Projects Are Not Equal

Adam Tuttle wrote up a really insightful entry on what "Free" software really means to market adoption (and how it relates to ColdFusion). This is a subject I spend a lot of time discussing/researching (too much if you ask my wife), so I wanted to add a little bit of color of my own. I'm a really big fan of open source when it's "free as in speech" but I find myself becoming more and more critical of professional open source or "free as in beer".

By now the ColdFusion blogosphere is buzzing with the news of two major milestones for the ColdFusion Community. First and foremost, the server they said could already do everything just learned a few more tricks. ColdFusion 9 offers advanced functionality, but its simplistic elegance makes it accessible to all level of developers. Not to be overshadowed, we also released the first public preview of ColdFusion Builder. For 14 years ColdFusion defined Rapid Application Development through its built-in services and language. Moving forward we hope to re-define RAD and push developer productivity to the next level with the combination of ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion Builder.

Software Quality, Schedule and Features

Tom Jordahl told me that "Building software is a lot like making sausage. You probably don't want to see how it's made". To a certain level he's right. Like food, software goes through an incredible transformation before it's presented that's not always pretty. Software starts off with a grand vision where the possibilities are endless. Over time deadlines get closer and closer while specs get smaller and smaller and eventually you are forced to readjust that vision to fit reality. ColdFusion is no different.
