ColdFusion Receives Positive Coverage
By: Mike Sachoff
ColdFusion is receiving more positive news coverage from mainstream tech sites.
Over at Fusion Authority they point to an article by Joe Rinehart on Dr. Dobb’s Portal. Rinehart says ColdFusion has become his application server of choice. He says he prefers it because it combines straightforward development with features such as Flash Remoting and real-time messaging gateways that make communication between the application server and Flex RIAs simpler.
On the HTML Goodies site, Doug Hughes writes favorably of ColdFusion. “ColdFusion has always focused on making complex and difficult tasks easy. The classic example of this is the ease of querying databases”.
“In most languages you need to have several lines of code to establish a connection to a database server (more if you’re using connection pooling), several lines to build your SQL statement, a couple lines to send the request, more to close the connection and then several more lines of code just to output data from the query into an HTML list. However, early versions of ColdFusion consolidated most of this tedious process into one tag that wraps the SQL statement you’re running and one tag that iterates over results.”
Its good to see ColdFusion receive some positive coverage from other mainstream tech sites.
