Rey. Ray. I can’t keep up! :)

OK – Rey (Bango) posted it on Ajaxian – and Ray (Camden) posted about it on his blog.

Ray – I’ve deactivated one of my comment spam plugins – that was probably the culprit – sorry for the rejections!

Hmpth. For some reason this blog keeps rejecting my comments because my UA changes. Yet I never change my UA. I have to reload and post again.

Credit goes to Rey for the write up though. Unless Rey is Ray. Rey could be the Mirror Universe version of Ray, or vice versa. ;)

Alan – I agree – Adobe needs to do more – but I didn’t post this to beat that horse.

I think the CF community itself can step up and do more to promote and expose ColdFusion outside our community.

There are so many great ColdFusion articles I see daily on MXNA – if these were seen on sites like DZone and Ajaxian – that would be a lot of exposure for ColdFusion… at little expense to anyone.

I’m of the opinion that the biggest defender, or rather, booster, of Cold Fusion should be Adobe. After all, it -is- their product. Yet, Adobe seems to be content to, imho, do little to nothing to so as much as mention Cold Fusion as a business solutions platform. Where’s the love, Adobe?

Sure, Adobe is working at improving CF, along with the greater family of products such as Flex and Flash. And sure, Adobe does market CF to it’s own, such as their AIR bus tour, but imho, it’s all preaching to the choir.

Where is Adobe’s advertising campaign aimed at the pointy haired boss types? Surely the folks at Adobe recognize that since their product isn’t free, they’ve got to appeal to the folks who actually -pay- for it, not just the developer crowd. I’m just not seeing it. Adobe treats CF like it’s an open-source item, as if it’s our job as developers to somehow float their balloon.

I think Adobe needs to step up to the plate, not us.
