Mass High Tech is running a
story about how "The Boston University School of Management has launched its own private version of Facebook to encourage student networking while reducing potentially embarrassing situations" As per the story, "The system was developed by one programmer over nine weeks using Adobe Inc.'s ColdFusion". Nice!
The Flip products are wonderful, small portable super-friendly video cameras (my 10 year old is becoming a budding director thanks to one he just got). The Flip website uses Flex in various places, including for
designing your own Flip Mino. And then when you
checkout, the online store is powered by ColdFusion 8.
Fig Leaf Training has
posted sample chapters from several of their courses, including "Moving To ColdFusion 8" and "Administering ColdFusion 8".
ColdFusion Product Marketing Manager, Kristen Schofield, has
announced (a few weeks ago) that she has updated the "ColdFusion Evangelism Kit" to include competitive information and more.
Lots of folks have been asking for the cool ColdFusion Rocks t-shirt (originally designed by eBoy for the AIR Launch poster, and tweaked for a special MAX 2008 t-shirt design). Adam Lehman has announced that he is giving one of these t-shirts away every day in January,
see his post for details.
Not sure how I missed this one, but ... AboutWeb's Phill Nacelli
posted his rendition of Adobe Labs.
Lee Brimelow's new
Flasher Magazine is now also available as a
video podcast.
Terry Ryan's post yesterday got me thinking. 2009 does indeed look like it'll be a lot of fun. We've already started talking about Centaur (aka ColdFusion 9), Bolt (the CF IDE), Gumbo (aka Flex Builder 4), Catalyst (aka Thermo), and there's more we've not discussed yet. Humm, I think it's time to start scheduling a massive usergroup tour. ;-)
So, Happy New Year to all. And get your rest, you're going to need it!
