Oct. 10, 2007 04:45 PM Reads: 18,703 | By Simon Horwith  My editorial last month was a high-level overview of all the new features in ColdFusion 8. Many of these features were generally divided into one of two categories: features that address developer productivity and those that focus on integrating with other products and technologies. Oct. 7, 2007 11:00 AM Reads: 11,224 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith 'As someone who often has to troubleshoot, improve, and analyze client applications and server performance, I've also found the new debugging and server monitoring tools to be invaluable. I can't imagine going back to not having them available and making use of them daily.' Jul. 30, 2007 01:30 PM Reads: 37,765 Replies: 3 | By Simon Horwith  On May 30, Adobe released the public beta of ColdFusion 8. Although things can change between the public beta and the final release - the features included in CF 8 are unlikely to change between now and the official release, so I thought I'd give a high-level overview of some significa... Jun. 2, 2007 03:30 PM Reads: 14,956 | By Simon Horwith  Today I'm speaking with Ben Forta, the technical evangelist for Adobe. The first thing I have to ask you is - the acquisition has happened, Adobe is now controlling ColdFusion and has taken over everything that Macromedia was doing, and this is my first chance to really speak with you ... May. 29, 2007 07:15 AM Reads: 39,662 Replies: 9 | By Simon Horwith  Yes, you read the title correctly: 'Scorpio,' the highly anticipated eighth major release of ColdFusion is coming soon to a town near you.

May. 13, 2007 09:00 PM Reads: 17,278 | By Simon Horwith  A student recently asked me what he could do to further his career, and inquired as to how I got to the point I am at on my own. This is a subject generally reserved for informal chit-chat among developers at conference social events and after user group meetings, and is one that is ve... May. 7, 2007 01:30 AM Reads: 15,002 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith  Since our last issue, several events have transpired that have significant impact for ColdFusion developers.

Apr. 2, 2007 05:45 PM Reads: 65,691 Replies: 8 | By Simon Horwith  While recently channel surfing, one of the 'Geico caveman' commercials came on the tube to remind me that Geico.com is so easy to use, even a caveman can do it. Plenty of ColdFusion developers are not what some people might call 'real programmers.' This is not necessarily a reflection ... Mar. 6, 2007 06:45 PM Reads: 14,265 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith  Keeping up to date with the most recent versions of software and programming languages is the toughest challenge for me as a developer. With each passing year it seems that the demands of being a top Web developer require proficiency in more and more tools and languages. Gone are the d... Dec. 27, 2006 04:15 AM Reads: 11,613 | By Simon Horwith  ColdFusion developers today are presented with more options than ever before - more developer tools, more conferences and learning resources, and more development choices in the form of frameworks and language features. Dec. 7, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 12,263 | By Simon Horwith  Spending as much time as I have speaking before audiences, I try very hard to keep an eye on trends and attitudes within demographic groups, including university students. I have also had the opportunity in the past to represent Macromedia as a lecturer at Ivy League universities. Nov. 6, 2006 01:00 PM Reads: 11,880 | By Simon Horwith  Usually, when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We've all seen the spam - 'Increase your 100%' e-mails that are clearly nothing more than ridiculous claims with no validity.Oct. 24, 2006 05:00 PM Reads: 13,096 | By Simon Horwith  When ColdFusion Developer's Journal was launched eight years ago, it was the first printed periodical exclusively by and for ColdFusion developers. Over the years there have been many changes in format, authors, and publishing/editorial staff. One thing has remained constant, however: ... Oct. 3, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 13,644 Replies: 3 | By Simon Horwith  Let's face it, the web is a frequently changing landscape - more so now than it has been since its inception. When the term 'Web 2.0' first set the industry on fire, I have to admit, I was not terribly excited. Aug. 25, 2006 09:00 AM Reads: 14,432 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith  I was really busy for several weeks prior to CFUnited and am back on the road again... but there's a silver lining. I'm basically done with my first round of SAM docs and I will be making those available very soon; I have the code and stories/advice to post as well - I just haven't had... Aug. 3, 2006 01:00 PM Reads: 12,891 | By Simon Horwith  When ColdFusion was first released there was one main feature, more than any other feature, that made it very popular very fast: ColdFusion makes it ridiculously easy to create Web pages that can talk to databases and display database information. Now, almost 11 years later, this is st... Jul. 20, 2006 01:45 PM Reads: 19,699 Replies: 4 | By Simon Horwith  I've written a lot lately about the growing strength of the ColdFusion development community - shown by the onslaught of frameworks and the rapid adoption and support for these frameworks, the growing number of bloggers, new conferences and the great success of the CFUnited conference,...

I received many great entries and thank each of you for your submissions.

Apr. 12, 2006 10:00 AM Reads: 23,411 Replies: 2 | By Simon Horwith  It's no secret that I've been outspoken about not liking frameworks for quite some time now.

Feb. 21, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 14,812 | By Simon Horwith  I've been fairly outspoken for quite some time now about the fact that I don't subscribe to any one framework. I've also spent many years refining what's proven to be the best methodology possible for developing ColdFusion applications. I recently promised my boss that I would learn an... Feb. 1, 2006 12:30 PM Reads: 22,949 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith  I've been a certified ColdFusion instructor for six years and speak regularly at user groups and conferences. One thing I've learned without a shadow of a doubt is that talk is cheap. Anyone can talk a good talk, but the proof is always in the pudding. Okay, enough clichés. Jan. 29, 2006 08:30 AM Reads: 19,607 Replies: 1 | By Simon Horwith  As someone who stands in front of audiences and evangelizes ColdFusion, often times I not only find myself preaching to the choir, but I sometimes find myself defending the product to misinformed or disheartened individuals. In the role of developer I, and many of our readers, find the...

Oct. 17, 2005 02:00 AM Reads: 20,947 Replies: 3 | By Simon Horwith  Macromedia has been offering ColdFusion Developer Certification since version 4.5 was released. Though it's arguable that there is no such thing as an exam that accurately measures a person's ability to develop applications, some employers do value such things and there's no denying t...
