Coldfusion Builder is a beast and heavy, I hope that's not my only true option. Just got a new laptop and I need something else to use. I sorely miss CF Studio and Homesite though. They have ZERO experience with real world situations and it's obvious. I'd rather go through several root canals than watch those guys present and attempt to get me excited about the product. They got rid of all the developers and sent it off shore.
#ADOBE COLDFUSION 11 WEINRE PASSWORD#
Really, you can't password protect Zip files?!?! And the java library used for office doc's just craps out more often than not when working with decent sized files for manipulation.
Their implementations of CFZip and M$ Office Doc integration's are pathetic, never getting updated. They don't partner and they are idiots for it.
SAP has their ABAP language and at one time used Flashforms like CF. Huge issue! I'm working on a massive project right now and I'm finding so many enterprise languages out there that are similar to CF, but not as robust. You have the utter and complete failure of Adobe/Macromedia gaining traction with SaaS company's as a platform. So many Enterprise people never realized their apps were running Coldfusion. There are things I like about and things I dislike but I have and still make a very good living writing ColdFusion. We just two weeks ago interviewed 10 CS majors for internships at our company and not one knew ColdFusion was even a language. NET to see what making it available for free/Open Source has done.Įxposure, Asked any collage student studying Computer science and they could list any of the languages on the list but maybe 1 in 10 will have heard of ColdFusion. Just look at what Microsoft has done with. Tack on another $300 for the editor and to be honest all CF editors are crap compared to what the other languages have.
#ADOBE COLDFUSION 11 WEINRE FREE#
Every other language on the list are completely free and have great IDE's that are free as well.Įverything else free and with Coldfusion you getĬoldFusion 11 is sold in two editions: Standard Edition costs US$1,499 per two CPUs, and Enterprise Edition costs US$8,499 per two CPUs. There are free alternatives but not from the maintainer of the language.
The reason for the decline in people using ColdFusion comes down to two things in my opinion.Ĭost (yes Lucee and others are free) Macromedia and Adobe charged a lot for ColdFusion. The following are the results:Įven if you make the argument that you can get more stuff done with ColdFusion quicker than in other languages that wouldn't be enough to account for these job posting statistics. I used Connecticut and Maryland (sort of what I consider to be two ends of the spectrum in terms of what I'd expect for ColdFusion related jobs. Indeed is one of the more popular job search engines so I obtained some statistics. I can accept the argument that ColdFusion is more prevalent in the enterprise but I'm coming to the conclusion that it might just be that there are lots of legacy applications in the enterprise using ColdFusion. The one in New York lists the next meeting as November 21st. Also, there seem to be far fewer user groups and those that do exist seem to be stale. It's been tough to say the least and even programmers who haven't had exposure to the language before don't seem to like it. As we've started to grow I've found it very hard to find local ColdFusion developers and have resorted to looking for PHP programmers who I can mold into ColdFusion developers. Many of our clients are startups that have an idea for a web application and need us to build the solution. We primary build web applications (membership sites, custom shopping carts and business workflow management systems). To be honest we've stuck with it because of inertia and because it's been a profitable solution for us to use.
and we've been using ColdFusion since its early days. I own a web development company in the U.S.
