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.
Once we collect some data I’ll publish the results on [...]

OpenBD Steering Committee

Alan has a list of the OpenBD (Open BlueDragon) Steering Committee on his blog:
Andy Allan, Peter Amiri, Mike Brunt, Sean Corfield, Mark Drew, Adam Haskell, Jordan Michaels, Alan Williamson, Matt Woodward and Andy Wu
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!), [...]

The Semi-Annual CFEclipse Sucks Post (and what you can do about it)

Seems like every few months someone will post a message to the CFEclipse mailing list complaining about all the things CFEclipse doesn’t do.
I love CFEclipse! Does it have some rough edges? Sure! But I could never, ever go back to using Dreamweaver or Homesite. I’d give up waaaaay to much functionality.
Usually [...]

ColdFusion Weekly - Back And Better!

Finally catching up with my podcasts… Listening to the latest ColdFusion Weekly - wow. Peter and Matt kind of disappeared over the winter and I think everyone was wondering if they were ever going to come back.
The last two I’ve listened to have been great:
Version 3.05 – March 20, 2008 - [...]

BlueDragon Roundtable on CFWeekly

I kind of lost track of CFWeekly but it appears they are back in a ‘CF_Roundtable’ format which seems pretty cool. This week they discuss the BlueDragon open-source announcement. The roundtable includes:

Sam Farmer
Brian Meloche
Terrence Ryan
Brian Swartzfager
Kurt Wiersma
Dan Wilson

Really good stuff and for the most part everyone seemed fairly positive about things. Matt [...]
