ColdFusion Getting Major Attention From DZone

I think I've mentioned Dzone (www.dzone.com) in previous posts: it's a site where users submit links to articles and blog posts about web design and web software development, and these links are then voted and commented on. It's kind of like a subject-focused version of Digg.

A lot of the posts tend to focus on Java or standard web technologies (JavaScript, CSS, HTML), but every now and then you see posts about Flex and AIR (and there's almost always an AIR ad somewhere on the page, evidence that the Adobe marketing team is aware of Dzone). There are even rare articles about ColdFusion.

This morning I submitted my blog post about techniques for providing help instructions within web applications to Dzone. One of the submissions steps is to pick four context tags for your link, and when I looked at the tag collection I saw that ColdFusion had been added:

I did a little bit of digging and found out that Dzone is planning on expanding their offerings to include a new group of websites focusing on specific technologies, including ColdFusion:

Become a Zone Leader and Get Recognized

I think this is a pretty exciting development and a sign that ColdFusion is finally getting some of the attention it desevers.
