Why I hear you ask? Because I thought I would be an ill informed geezer and blog about it!

All in all I’m fed up with hearing CFML is dead / ColdFusion is Dead it’s not!!!! Truely look at Kristen Webb Schofield blog re the ColdFusion Evangelism Kit : ColdFusion has at least three more releases in the pipeline.

Having seen Railo again and it’s demos with CFVIDEO etc, I think we have the two front runners to push CFML all the way.

When you have an .NET / PHP / RUBY etc. house still working out how to publish video without using You Tube or PDF’s without a load of horrible code. We can all be sitting in our house of stone, tapping the watch say hey what took you so long? We did that in 3 hours 4 weeks ago! What was your hold up?

Yes ColdFusion costs money, and yes Railo 3.1 won’t but both have their merits and together they will push the community further, even further then original release of ColdFusion back in 1995. (f Memory serves me right, before ASP and Microsoft offering to buy ColdFusion)

So as a community lets stop all this “THE SKY IS FALLING” and start showing what we are made off. OK our soft skills (SCM / Bug Tracking / OOP etc.) are lacking, but together we can over come that, and in the UK & Europe with the help of Scotch on the Road 2009.

If your company is starting the OH NO we must change technology chant,  then feel free to give one of the Adobe Community Experts in the UK a shout (Andy Allan, Mark Drew & Myself) We’ll try to help where we can and of course we will have the help of Adobe too, there is no need to panic people!

The next person to say ColdFusion is dying to me will feel the force of the Scotch Road show!!!

May the Scotch be with you!
