Adobe ColdFusion 8 won the Web Development award at the 2008 Great Indian Developer Summit. The award highlights web development and deployment tools that help developers and designers push the boundaries of the web. ColdFusion beat out ASP.NET and Oracle WebCenter for the coveted prize. The award is a good indicator that ColdFusion's popularity is growing rapidly in India.

Here is an expert from their website:

Adobe ColdFusion 8 emerged the winner after fighting a neck to neck battle with ASP.NET and Oracle WebCenter. As a Web development framework, ColdFusion competes against a number of technologies, but its advantage lies in its implementation, comprehensiveness, and the fact that it is many things rolled into one - presentation package, programming language, a means to produce and edit images and PDFs and much more.

Aww yeah- that's what I'm talkin' bout. I hope this makes it into the ColdFusion Evangelism kit Kristen has. Take that, .NET.

What do you want to bet that the rules get changed next year and ColdFusion doesn't qualify for the competition?

CF wins every time it's compared.

ColdFusion can be easy and it can be powerful. Pragmatic programming is one reason we use ColdFusion at my company. (Not saying the others are not... just obvious that DRY and powerful code is handy for CFML developers.)

Talk about instant results. On Monday you take over the product and on Tuesday it wins awards! ;)

Congrats on being named product manager for CF as well!
