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.

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.

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.

It's official. I'm the new Product Manager for ColdFusion and Bolt. After a considerable amount of internal debate, I decided to step up and take the lead of the product I love so much. I don't mean to sound sappy, but I'm incredibly humbled that the rest of the ColdFusion team trusts me enough to fulfill this role. I'm honored to follow in the footsteps of people I admire.

From a technical perspective it's easy to see why so many developers choose Adobe ColdFusion. ColdFusion has all the native capabilities of Java but with a ton of value-added features. However, it may not be as easy to see why Adobe ColdFusion is superior from a business perspective when it's the only major player with an upfront cost. The recently updated ColdFusion Evangelism Kit now includes a competitive comparison with other leading server-side technologies like JSP, ASP and PHP.

On Friday, I gave a presentation to internal ColdFusion developers at Adobe (Adobe.com, kuler, etc). It was the final meeting of our user research phase and officially concluded the SyncDev process for Centaur. I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on the process and some of the many conversations we had with developers and how it's shaping the next major release of ColdFusion.
