What do you like about Coldfusion

Everything, it's quick, direct and very scalable.

What other technologies do you use?

I try anything web really.

About Me:

I am the CTO for TalkWebSolutions and I live and work in Brighton, England. I am also a founding partner in iNovaSoft. I enjoy building accessible, elegant web applications using the troika of the web: technology, standards and methodologies.
When I'm not building websites, I partake in anything extreme, snowboarding, kite surfing and even beer drinking.

At 1:39pm on August 18, 2009, Chris Peters said…: I'd be glad to. We'll be going production/1.0 before the year is over. A "preview" interview would be cool.

Spammer

http://www.coldfusioncommunity.org/profile/carolin

looks like you have a fun spammer. I get them on my communities, MohawksRock.com and TheTallSTreetJournal.com as well. They are annoying. Only way i've found so far is to have members report them.

Have you come up with any other great ideas?

At 10:08am on February 18, 2009, Amber Shankland said…: Hi Nick,
All good thanks.. Ive now set up Aqua Lime, so Im back in Coldfusion Recruitment again!
I'm just networking around to make people aware of what we are doing really.
Hows u?

I've blogged the job...

I will see if we can get the other site unblocked on our end.

At 2:45pm on July 3, 2008, Thomas Case said…: Nick,
I sent a service issue with the site and haven't heard back. Our company uses SmartFilter for Internet blocking and it blocks the CSS (and possibly JS) for this site since it is hosted on a host that is blocked. Could you move the CSS and JS to this site's URL?

At 12:43pm on June 19, 2008, Jeff Martin said…: I wasn't aware of any open source CRM systems. Your question prompted me to do a search for Open Source CRM which turned up openCRX which looks promising. It may even be able to be deployed on JRun. I'd be interested in your opinion if you take the time to check it out.

Our system is coming along. Phase 1 which merely replaces the existing CRM application is slated to go into Beta internally in 2 weeks. Phase 2 will incorporate Exchange integration as well as expand/improve upon what is currently in place. I'm thinking we'll have a 3rd phase as well, but we haven't nailed down the functionality to be added in phase 3.
