I was reading this post at Ben Forta’s blog were he talks about the demise of CFDJ.
That story has been kicked around enough I won’t go into it much - but I did enjoy reading CFDJ when it was in it’s prime. I learned a lot from the magazine and still have a huge pile of them at home that I occasionally hit for information.
But we all know the decline of CFDJ and as Ben states - there are other resources out there now… Blogs, Adobe’s Dev Center, forums, etc…
What really struck me was in one of the comment so Ben Forta’s site - someone mentioned they were not even aware the Adobe ColdFusion Developer Center existed!!
So - where do you go for your ColdFusion fix?? Blogs? RSS feeds? Mailing lists? Let me know! If there is enough response I’ll compile them up into some kind of useful page and post it here or on my wiki… I’ll try to do another post of some of the resources I use this evening if I have time.

The first thing I do is check over the latest CF-Talk and related House of Fusion mailing lists. Then I look over Fullasagoog, then MXNA. As the publisher and a writer for the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update, I have to pay attention to its content, which is excellent (if I could be so egotistical). CFDJ hasn’t been even a secondary source of information for me in years.
I get my fix from Google Reader. I imported a couple OPMLs and have been picking other feeds up as I go. Firefox 2 makes this really easy when the RSS icon appears in the address bar. The news reading format is perfect, keep scrolling down and news keeps loading below until you’ve read it all. Very convenient.
I have everything I need tucked away in Bloglines. And on a quarterly basis, the FAQU does the job nicely.
