cf.Objective(ANZ), Day 1 Summary
First ever ColdFusion conference I have attended today in Melbourne (Australia) was not that bad at all ;-) Thanks to organizers, we've got pretty good composition of speakers and topics covered.I am not going to narrate or comment on what I've heard today at the conference, but there are few things I found interesting to mention:— CF9 seems to be a seamless upgrade for many users and provides new functionality for rapid applications development (RAD).— CF9+Solr is the way to go (drop Verity if possible).— CF Builder can help a lot with RAD even for current CFEclipse users.— YourKit Java (translate)
Adobe ColdFusion Evangelism Kit
While arguing that CF is the best dead language ever in one online community with other geeks, I have found interesting PDF, named Adobe ColdFusion Evangelism Kit and released in 2009 by Adobe.This document includes several facts and key figures to advocate your prospective clients for CF. In my opinion the best page of whole document is comparison of ColdFusion with Java/JSP, ASP.NET and PHP in terms of development timeframe and cost of ownership. (translate)

Saving to network drive in Eclipse
Working with CFEclipse was never a better time to me until recent days when over time saving network files become slower and slower. Today while saving files (those are on mapped network drive) Eclipse has started randomly throwing error "Save could not be completed. Reason: Has been changed on the file system" after hanging access to network drive for 10-30 seconds and saving an empty file. ( read more on Saving to network drive in Eclipse ) (translate)
