I am slowly publishing a series of blog posts relating to clustering in particular with ColdFusion and JRun. It can get fairly complicated pretty fast and I urge all who are going to embark on clustering to plan out how you want to cluster and why. Another key issue is to make sure when we are creating a web application that it designed and engineered from day one with clustering in mind.

This will be the first post in a series relating to clustering ColdFusion. In this first series of posts we will be looking at clustering CF at a software level using ColdFusion 8 Enterprise. Hopefully later on, we can move to a Hardware-Software set-up with examples. I mentioned in a previous post that what I will detail is drawn from my experiences from either creating clusters for clients or working on existing clusters. There are no doubt other ways to do this.

I have added several blog postings here before on the theories of High-Availability (HA) and Clustering. In this series of blog postings I will be attempting to create dedicated postings for the following scenarios. Please keep in mind that there will be alternative ways to do these things and what I am showing here is drawn from my experiences from either creating clusters for clients or working on existing clusters Here are the scenarios I will be posting on...

SitePoint recently published an article of mine about developing Rich Internet Applications with ColdFusion 8. SitePoint is a repository of tons of tech-related articles. From what I understand, they will be releasing more ColdFusion related articles in the future. What are you waitng for? Go check it out.

The other day, I posted a question regarding what tools developers used in managing their projects and I received quite a few responses and a lot of links to various tools. In looking through the various tools mentioned, a thought came to mind. My assumption is that most people reading this blog are technical developers, probably having at least something to do with ColdFusion.

Over the past month or so I've blogged a couple of times about the fact that Alagad is hiring a Senior Sales person. Why? Well, obviously, we need to generate business to keep our highly skilled developers busy. This has been a challenge for us over the last year. What tends to happen is that we'll spend time generating leads. We do this when we're experiencing some down time. We primarily use on the Alagad.com blog for this.
