ColdFusion Good Times

ColdFusion has come a long way since I first started using it back in 2003. I started using version 5.0. It was at that time owned by Macromedia.

Later on Macromedia was bought out by Adobe. I'm sure some were afraid that Adobe would cease production of ColdFusion, but they were good and played nice, keeping CF around.

ColdFusion is currently in version 9. Not sure when version 10 will be released, but I'm sure it will have some good stuff to go with it. The updates usually do.

Some things I find interesting about ColdFusion are the following:

1. Rabid application development
2. Integrate Java in with your pages, via cfc's or scripting
3. Works nicely and plays well with others

I'll come up with a better list later, but right now those come to mind. I mean it better play nice with Java, it was re written using Java altogether.
