Saw this interesting article on Slashdot - Open Source Killing Commercial Developer Tools. Will Adobe ever release an updated IDE for ColdFusion? And if they do - would anyone buy it?

Open-source Killing Commercial Tools (IDE)
More CFML Open-Source Goodness? Maybe?
So Railo is going open-source. While I think this is a ‘good thing’ I am beginning to wonder how we as a CFML community are going to keep up? While Open Blue Dragon has their steering committee I’m wondering if we don’t need something similar for CFML in general…
What is going to be considered 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 [...]

And it makes me want to at least check out Rails to see what the fuss is about.
The ColdFusion community needs to [...]

I’d love to hear from anyone who has already migrated! We are running ColdFusion 7 on top of IIS (Win2003) so we are looking at migrating the ColdFusion server settings (datasource, [...]
ColdFusion Batch Scripts - For Linux
I always set ColdFusion to NOT run at startup - why have it eating resources when you aren't using it? On Windows I had a few batch scripts to easily kick off ColdFusion. I dug around looking for something similar for Linux... I found a few things which I've added to my [...]
Forta-fied. Ben Forta Talks Flex/Air
Last night I attended Ben Forta's Flex 3 and AIR Pre-release tour in Raleigh, NC. While I don't do any Flex/Air stuff at work I still wanted to check things out and I'm glad I did. I was really impressed with both technologies and may have to experiment a bit at home with [...]
