Back when ColdFusion MX 7 shipped I posted a little photo-tour of the Newton facility and CF7 team area, the enterprise testing lab, etc. This time around, well, first off, we're NOT shipping yet, (in fact we are just getting the DVD burners out of their boxes!), but it's pretty much all the same in terms of facilities, so I'd thought I'd do a quick walk around the ColdFusion 8 engineering and quality assurance areas today to show you what a world-class, mega software operation truly looks like.

I've posted the final ColdFusion 8 Product Security Briefing PDF just delivered to us by the 3rd party security firm nformation Risk Management, Plc ("IRM") here: ColdFusion 8 IRM Product Security Briefing Bottom line on this release: "...ColdFusion 8 exhibits a high degree of resilience to application layer attacks with no compromise on functionality provisioned by the new features." At Adobe, and on the ColdFusion team, we take product and customer security very seriously.

Back when ColdFusion 7 shipped I posted a little photo-tour of the Newton facility and CF7 team area, the enterprise testing lab, etc. This time around, well, it's pretty much all the same in terms of facilities, so I'd thought I'd drop down and do a quick walk around the ColdFusion 8 engineering and quality assurance areas today to show you what a world-class, mega software operation truly looks like. Let me caveat this by saying....we have fun on the CF team, first and foremost.

Ben Forta posted some stats about the Scorpio World Tour so far. Ben Nadel then summarized it all into photo of Ben I thought summed it up pretty nicely: So I thought it might be interesting to share some ColdFusion Engineering statistics about the making of ColdFusion 8 "Scorpio" so far...
