Last month I demonstrated ColdFusion 8 at the internal Adobe employee meeting. We recorded a short video that was used as an introduction to my presentation, and it was so popular that we've posted it online, too. So, check out Brian Rinaldi, Jochem van Dieten, Barbara Oneal, Shlomy Gantz, Rob Brooks-Bilson, and Kevin Schmidt in the Here's what ColdFusion developers are saying about ColdFusion 8 video (and be sure to admire Rob's juggling skills!).

Check out the updated ColdFusion Developer Center, now with hot fresh ColdFusion 8 content, including:

• Brian Szoszorek and Steve Rittler's overview of ColdFusion Ajax support.

I've mentioned ColdFusion 8 performance gains previously, and said that we'd publish the complete performance brief with the test specifics and details. That brief is now online.

Adobe ColdFusion 8 has officially been released. Details are all posted online along with the official press release.
