A few weeks ago I blogged a series of posts on defending ColdFusion against other technologies (see http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1266). Marco Casario has translated these posts in to Italian, and they can be found at: Defending ColdFusion against ASP.NET...
Macromedia has created a hot fix to address a problem with ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater in the server configuration (which uses an internal version of JRun 4) or the J2EE configuration running on JRun. If a request is sent to ColdFusion MX before the ColdFusion application is fully loaded and running,...
The majority of ColdFusion deployments are on Windows boxes, and so it is no surprise that users have frequently requested a simple way to authenticate users against Active Directory and Windows domains.

I mentioned this one during my tour, the ColdFusion MX 6.1 updater is now available. This update to ColdFusion MX 6.1 consists of several fixes that have previously been available separately; the JRun Updater 3 (for ColdFusion server configurations only), new releases of DataDirect JDBC drivers and...
Consider the following situations ... * You don't have access to the ColdFusion Administration, but need to make simple changes (like registering your IP addresses for debugging). * You need temporary datasources (perhaps for data import tasks) and want to be able to programmatically create (and...
"Windows Network & .NET Magazine" (at http://www.winnetmag.com/) is powered by ColdFusion. There are lots of static pages on this site, so you may have to dig around to find the .cfm links, but they are indeed there. Thanks to Steve Young for this one.
PC Welt (http://www.pcwelt.de/), ComputerWoche (http://www.computerwoche.de/) and ComputerPartner (http://www.computerpartner.de/) are German IDG publications, and all of their Web sites are powered by ColdFusion (CFMX and CF5). Thanks to Hansjoerg Posch for pointing these ones out to me.
