Why?Well because they had a bug tracker, I could submit a bug and find the status of that bug. This is a great and powerful feature that instills confidence that a reported bug has even been seen.What we have now is a wish form, where you can send through a bug or wish, but you never know what has happened with it after that. Every hotfix that comes out you check the release notes hoping that your bug made it, and if it didn't you wonder, did they get it?

I have pre ordered all 3 books of the CFWACK through Amazon, and thought I would share that I got an email from them saying that theColdFusion 8 Web Application Construction Kit, Volume 1: Getting StartedHad been delayed.

learncf.com today announced they will be giving away prizes to authors of tutorials on the learncf.com website. Most notably a copy of ColdFusion 8 Standard.Click here to find out how to contribute http://learncf.com/contribute.

I said I would release the modified version of the color coding for ColdFusion code when I was happy with it and here it is.Thanks to Steve Onnis who fixed a problem with one of the regular expressions and added in a missing one.

learncf.com has been launched (ahead of schedule). The site is now live and function and we will be looking to add a minimum of 1 tutorial per week to the site.Enjoy!http://learncf.

A new training based website aimed at providing a collection of good quality tutorials will be launched on the 1st of September AEST. This is a 100% free community based website, there will be no advertising.

I've been working on a website, one of the things I needed was a code formatter.It's a work in progress, and I won't post the code yet, but it seems to be working. It's based around the code from BlogCFC which looks to be originally written by Dain Anderson.It had a few bits that I didn't understand, and some formatting that I didn't want. So I have severly hacked it for my own purposes.

I saw a blog entry today, that linked to some videos on .NET for ColdFusion Developers, the link didn't work, but I found the videos and thought I'd postIntroduction to ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers (Part 1 of 3)Introduction to ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers (Part 2 of 3)Introduction to ASP.

I have an issue with CF8 Standard and lack of Server Monitoring.Adobe, say this is not an issue as you can us it in the developer version, so you can develop, test, tweak and monitor the performance. Cool right?Well not quite, as if your planning on deploying on Standard, then some features are throttled. But when your developing on developer they are not throttled, so monitoring performance is not really a true indication of performance once you push to prodution on Standard.

I posted a while back that we were not moving to Flex 2 but we were waiting to see what ColdFusion 8 had to offer.I have evaluated the features and benefits of both languages and have made the decision that ColdFusion 8 is a better solution.The addition of DHTML widgets, such as Tabs, Grid etc, etc has been a welcomed addition for us. We develop applications that are for use within Clinical Trials and a lot of our customers simply do not have the permission to install the flash player.
