They have released the first version under the Apache 2.0 software license as it celebrates its second anniversary this week.

When does it make sense to cache ColdFusion code?

Submitted by Webmaster on Sunday March 08, 2009

This is in response to a question asked of me on Twitter (I'm using Twitter a lot recently, but I'd probably suggest folks use emails for questions as Twitter can be hard to catch up). The user asked potential bottlenecks with cfdocument and cfpdf. This brought up a general suggestion I thought I'd share on the blog. When does it make sense to cache ColdFusion code?

Open Source -- Is it Free?

Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday March 07, 2009

"Open source" has come a long way and with the new administration adopting the open source content management system Drupal to power the recovery.gov Web site, open source's visibility will likely get another big boost. Speaking from the standpoint of a developer, the number of tools, utilities and programs available under open source licensing continues to be very exciting. But it is also true that confusions still persist about what it is and, in particular, about its costs. "Open source" and "free" are not synonymous -- though there is a relationship between the two terms.
