ColdFusion debug output is displayed at the bottom of the generated page, right? Well, not necessarily. Ever since ColdFusion MX, this output has also been available in a separate window, as well as in the results panel in Dreamweaver (in a really nice tree control). But, as many Dreamweaver users...
Need to add a datasource but don't have access to the ColdFusion Administrator? One of the Blackstone extensions to Dreamweaver solves this problem for you. Click the + button above the list of datasources and you'll be prompted for all the details needed to define a datasource, details which...
Blackstone will ship with Dreamweaver extensions designed to simplify ColdFusion application development (especially for beginners, but some useful for all developers). One that I was just using is a toggle inserted into the Application panel that changes the list of displayed CFCs, toggle one way...
This one totally changes the meaning of the word "bugs". Terminix, the pest control company, uses ColdFusion MX (and Fusebox) for their site at http://www.terminix.com/. Thanks to Alex Sherwood for bringing this one to my attention.
I mentioned this in Europe this week, and as others have blogged it I thought that I should mention it directly myself. My public facing sites (http://www.forta.com http://www.cffaq.com and others) are running on Blackstone, and have been since early alpha days. I did not mention this until now...

Once again, this was a very interactive and engaged crowd, they were even willing to delay their coffee and cake break so as to be able to see more demos! :-) The big winners, (which was greeted with the now regular "I...
I spent less than 10 hours in Italy yesterday. A quick flight in, a taxi to the venue, a presentation, and then back to the airport. The event was a combined usergroup and partner presentation, a format used during my previous Milan visits. The Italian CF community is not that big, but they are...
I just arrived in Milan, a little later than planned, and I am on my way to the event venue (posting this from inside of a taxi). I'll be discussing ColdFusion Blackstone and Flex with partners and users this afternoon, and then it's up to Cologne (via Frankfurt). Ciao!
The usergroup event this evening went really well. A standing room only crowd of 80 attendees packed into the venue, an old church that had been renovated into a high-tech office, and the response and feedback to Blackstone was phenomenal. What most impressed me was how tech-savvy and current the...
I'm heading out of the door to catch a flight to Europe. I'll be presenting Blackstone (and more) this week at events in Amsterdam, Milan, and Cologne. If you are in the area, drop by!
