I'm writing this editorial on the way home from CFNorth in Toronto. It was, I can honestly say, one of the best times I've had at a conference, ColdFusion or otherwise. This was the case for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the amazing effort that Kevin Towes and ... (more)

As a jaded computer user and developer, it's hard to excite me with a simple new release. As a magazine editor, with products and demos flying across my desk, it becomes even harder. I've seen many products and releases come and go over the past few years, and it's been a very in... (more)

On May 3 I'll be packing my bags and trekking north from New York to Toronto to participate in CF North, the only Canadian developer's conference for ColdFusion. A large chunk of the ColdFusion world will be heading up that way with me, both those in the area and those elsewhere ... (more)

In today's tough economic climate, the working world is becoming a more difficult place for everyone, including ColdFusion developers. Budgets are getting leaner, workers are being laid off, and work pressures are increasing as well. A recent discussion with fellow developers rev... (more)

Well, we're at the start of a new year, and before we look forward, I thought it might be an appropriate time to look back and reflect on . With this January issue we enter our fourth year of publication, proudly covering the world of ColdFusion since January of 19... (more)

In the aftermath of the horrific events of September 11, 2001, the entire nation came together to mourn the loss of those who died and suffered, and to plan a way to recover as a society as best we could. No words that I could write here would be adequate to convey how awful the ... (more)

Over the past few months we've previewed the development of ColdFusion 6.0 - affectionately codenamed "Neo" by the Macromedia development crew. In many of those articles we also discussed the new Java support, one of the brightest new features and also the one that could help car... (more)

We've often provided coverage of the massive lists of "big name" companies that are using ColdFusion on their Web sites. I find this to be an excellent example of the health and growth of the ColdFusion industry. One new site alone of course isn't enough to propel ColdFusion forw... (more)

No, isn't a new ColdFusion tag coming in Neo that you just haven't read about yet. It's my witty (at least I think it's witty) way of introducing debugging, one of the focuses of this month's issue. It's something that every developer has certainly faced at one t... (more)

Last year's Readers' Choice Awards greatly exceeded our expectations. Over 13,000 votes were cast, many more than we imagined. What it proved to us here at CFDJ, and what it demonstrated to the industry as a whole, was the maturity of the ColdFusion industry. It also showed your ... (more)

There have been a lot of hot wireless topics in current events as of late, a trend indicative of the continuing acceptance of wireless in the mainstream consumer market. In this month's editorial, I'd like to weigh in on a few of the biggest issues. Wireless Security When most p... (more)

Living on the Edge Trade shows and conferences are fantastic opportunities for learning, as well as networking with others in the industry. Where else can you hang out with hundreds, even thousands, of other wireless enthusiasts? I've recently spoken with many readers (at confere... (more)

WBT's editor-in-chief Robert Diamond recently asked Joan Herbig about her role in a company that has seen explosive growth in the past year thanks to Afaria, the popular solution for enterprises faced with managing a large number of mobile devices from a central location. WBT: W... (more)

I'm writing this month's editorial myself, but if I wanted to stay true to the focus of the issue, I'd be writing it with a partner, or several. Collaboration is the name of the game in the world of ColdFusion, and in the magazine world as well. It's a team that produces CFDJ, an... (more)

Marketing hype is everywhere in our lives. It's unavoidable no matter where you go - flipping through television channels, reading newspapers or magazines, or driving along and looking at the billboards on the highway. Now, don't get me wrong; advertising has its place. It shows ... (more)

A few months ago I wrote an editorial in CFDJ (Vol. 3, issue 1) about conferences in general, and what fantastic opportunities they were for learning and networking. I spoke with many readers after that piece (at conferences of course!) and all agreed with that sentiment. Many of... (more)
