CFML – alive and kicking at CFCamp and CFAcademy in Germany

by kai 06/08/2012

by kai 15/01/2012

by kai 05/06/2008

In about 5 minutes, the Swiss company Railo is going to announce the open-sourcing of their alternative ColdFusion/CFML engine Railo. Hang on, one might think – didn’t we have that just a few months ago with Open BlueDragon? Sort of, but this time the impact of the anouncement might be significantly different. The reason is, […]

A few more thoughts on Railo going OS

by kai 05/06/2008

The Railo keynote has started and I’ll take a few minutes to share a few thoughts on the open sourcing of Railo on JBoss.org.
