The Savvy CMS - CFEclipse.org Makeover - Part II

When we last left our Savvy saga we were facing installation.  Again the great documentation made installation a breeze and sums up the steps required nicely:
Savvy CM installation is very easy. There are no installation programs to be run on the server, instead you copy your files to the web server, modify the includes.cfm file [...]

Triangle Area CFLunch - Come Join Me For Lunch!

A few weeks ago Dan Wilson and I met for lunch to swap some Flex books (thanks Dan!) and we both commented how we rarely get out of the office. So I thought it might be fun to have a casual ‘geek’ lunch once a month or so just to:

Get out of the [...]

The Closed State Of The ColdFusion Community

I saw this post on Mike Henke’s blog… ColdFusion is dead (yet again) and of course I had to go read it. Mike’s take was it was just another “CF is dead” rant. But I clicked through and read the original post The State Of ColdFusion and have to agree with many of [...]

The ‘Open’ CFML IDE Survey

Ray Camden kindly gave me access so I could setup a survey using his Soundings Survey application (it rocks!).
I’ve copied the original questions from the Adobe survey and added a few John Farrar sent me after some discussions on this open Aptana support ticket.

OpenBD Steering Committee

LOTS of good names on there and some really nice quotes but obviously I’m going to have to step up and volunteer [...]

Testing Flex Applications?

We are exploring using Flex more (goodbye Powerbuilder!) here at work. We are also doing more and more testing and hope to eventually implement continuous integration.
I’ve seen a few tools to unit test Flex but I’m curious how you test Flex at the application level? For our web applications we are currently using [...]

The Savvy CMS - CFEclipse.org Makeover - Part I

When I originally decided to revamp the CFEclipse.org site I knew I wanted to use a CMS. I looked around and evaluated a few of the free versions but the available options were either too simple or overly complex. I was looking for something in the middle.
One of the blogs I frequently read [...]

Vince Bonfanti On ColdFusion Weekly, OpenBD Mailing List

If you haven’t listened to the Vince Bonfanti interview on ColdFusion Weekly yet - go do it.
To be honest I was expecting a bit more of a ‘cut-n-paste’ interview where Vince responded with canned responses. It was anything but. Vince gave a great overview of his history (he’s a developer GASP!), [...]
