Looks like I missed the SYS-CON announcements for their “ColdFusion Developer’s Journal Readers’ Choice Awards” (press release at http://www.sys-con.com/2002/PR/02252004.cfm). My “ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit” won the “Best Book” category, and my “Advanced ColdFusion MX Application Development” was first runner-up (the Advanced book had won this category every year previously). Both books are linked at http://www.forta.com/books. In the “Best CF Web Service” category my “CF-Tip-of-the-Day” won, six months after I stopped updating that service (migrating the content to my blog). The truth is, I have no idea what this particular award is, as few entries in the “Best CF Web Service” were actually Web Services. Still, winning these awards again is a great honor, and I thank all of you who voted for me.
