I listened to a podcast today about something i have been reading in blogs a bit the past couple months. Old news to some, but new to me and important to understand the larger picture.
Once upon a time, ColdFusion was just a little player on the larger scene. the Allaire brothers created the initial taging language way back in 98,99? It is telling now that ColdFusion has 3 different rendering engines and a couple open source projects and is in discussion with educational groups for free liscensing and curriculum, to start offering as college curriculum.
There are 3 different organizations that are offering a ColdFusion rendering engine.
Adobe - with Coldfusion
Blue Dragon - new Atlanta
Railo
I was listening to this podcast today where they discussed Railo in detail and the need to have a standard CF rendering engine, since there are now multiple players. the idea of a CF core that was implemented by each engine with plugins or addons or lib functions or something like this to allow diff. additions by diff. engines.
Its all good - the maturation of a platform like ColdFusion.
