Adobe has released it’s newest version of ColdFusion, by announcing the release of version 9.  Adobe chose to announce the new release at Adobe MAX, Adobe’s worldwide developer conference, at the start of October.

ColdFusion 9, a powerful development technology for building dynamic Web sites and Internet applications, increases developer productivity, integrates with complex enterprise environments and delivers rich and interactive experiences for users. ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 is the next build of the new Eclipse™ based ColdFusion integrated development environment (IDE) used for rapidly developing ColdFusion applications.

The team at webqem are keen users of the ColdFusion technology (along with all technology) and have the knowledge and expertise to supply and train you in the ColdFusion software. Contact us for more information.

A full press release is available online.

It has been more than 2 years now since Adobe ColdFusion 8 was released. Now, it seems like ColdFusion 9 is just around the corner, as Adobe has made a download of the Beta available for download for the public.

ColdFusion 9 will allow developers to utilize a whole heap of better tools; from greater integration with the Adobe® Flash® Platform, to a complete system of integrated tools, frameworks, to content and video that runs consistently across operating systems and devices. As a result of these great new features, developers and IT professionals have an easier path for creating rich user interfaces for their enterprise applications and to integrate across their existing technologies – which is pretty cool!

The webqem team is very excited to finally get their hands on the beta. Click here for the full report from Adobe (the download is at the bottom of the article).
