It's been over two years since the
introduction of the highly
successful ColdFusion 7, and much has
changed in that time
During this time we've been hard at work
building the next ColdFusion,
and the above events (and more) helped
shape what is now ColdFusion 8.
Earlier this year, I was fortunate
enough to present ColdFusion 8 to
thousands of developers as part of our
pre-release user group tour.
And while preparing the presentations
and demos I was struck by just
how much there is in ColdFusion 8 to
talk about�this is no incremental
update, this is leaps and bounds further
than we�ve talked about
ColdFusion before (and ColdFusion MX 7
already leapfrogged the
competition). For the user group tour we
cherry picked the features we
wanted to demo, and changed the
presentations and demonstrations
weekly (both for our own sanity and to
keep the content fresh). And
here too, I am going to only highlight a
subset of the features and
technologies that make up ColdFusion 8.
