ColdFusion Guidelines/Standards what works for you and why

Today we had an interesting discussion on this very subject, now we already have one in place. Yet we have varying opinions on why we should do something, but nothing really concrete as the real truth as to why it should be this or that way. I personally have grown to love the fact that the beginning of a block is on the same line as the method, component class or loops etc. My logic behind this is that it is neater, doesn't clutter the workspace and fairly easy to read.

However my logic just doesn't end there.

Sean Corfield joins the Railo team

I guess by now everyone has read his blog announcement, that he will now be joining the Railo team as CTO for the USA division. So why am I blogging it, well technically I am not announcing that.

Opensource CFML Engines and what it means to the Community

I have kept rather on the fence for awhile on this subject for a number of reasons, one of those was I was interested to see how others would begin writing about the impact it might have on the CFML community as a whole.

The one thing that we can not argue is that the future of CFML is NOT going to die, provided that the language heads in the direction that Adobe should have been taking it 10 years ago.

Blue Dragon open source almost 12 months later

Well it is 12 months now since New Atlanta announced that they were open sourcing their J2EE version of BlueDragon, since then a lot of discussions on the future of their product and CFML in a whole had sparked some heated discussions since the announcement.

It was a very brave move for New Atlanta to decide to make that decision, and most people that I have spoken to over the last 12 months were under the impression that it was for selfish reasons. Since then it has been more than for selfish reasons.

CFML and open source

Well one of the things that I was hoping for, could become a very big reality now. At the time I write this, it is not 100% confirmed. but it appears that railo is now going open source.
