I've been working with some Adobe Flex recently, and was having some trouble formatting dates. For those who don't know, here (in th UK) we use the format "dd/mm/yyyy" (Day/Month/Year) as opposed to people over in the States using "mm/dd/yyyy" (Month/Day/Year).

Not trying to be contradictive here (maybe a little bit) or rain on anyones parade, but I've been hearing and seeing loads of fuss from people who are "just waiting" for ColdFusion 9 ORM to be released, or some people who have projects where ColdFusion 9 ORM "would suit just perfectly".

I've just published the last piece of the puzzle. For those who read my last blog post, you should be already familiar with the "a day series"
It's a small set of applications aimed to all ColdFusion Developers who want to go the extra mile, and not limit their knowledge to only a small set of information.
The functionality is pretty simple, you set one of the URL's as your homepage, and every time you open a new page/tab, it shows you a new ColdFusion function or tag deppending on the flavor you chose.
I'm now publishing the version that includes it all:

Following Andy Allan's comment on my previous post, I decided to write a new post and make some things clear here.
In fact, I didn't realize that creating the new instance as a Windows Service through ColdFusion Administrator would cause so much trouble as it does. Basically, if you do check "Create Windows Service", your new instnace will automatically be created as a Windows Service. It's not too bad, as you would normally want your new ColdFusion instance to start-up with your server.

I just had to write this guide at work, and thought it could be useful to somebody else.
Basically at work, we have ColdFusion 8 installed on each developer's computer, and in order to have everything separated, we have one ColdFusion instance per project, so we can save on resources, and can fine tune each of the instances according to the application needs.
There's a few ways to accomplis this task, but lately I found that the easiest way if to use ColdFusion Admin itself, and let it do all the work for you. here's how I do it, assuming you have ColdFusion 8 multi-server configuration already installed:

Last week it came to my attention that ColdFusion is being used by 75 of the Fortune 100 companies. Then, I was also informed that ColdFusion was ranked in the top four application servers by developers, just behind Websphere, Geronimo and Windows Server.
In the last couple of weeks, ColdFusion has been "the big fuss" of the world wide web. It's totally scalable, and the learning curve is smaller than any other web language currently out there.
My question is:
What else do you need to crack on with ColdFusion development? It's FREE for educational purposes, you can have FREE hosting for development, there's a flawless FREE training material and a GREAT community.
I'd appreciate comments on that matter, as well as questions from people who might be thinking of starting with ColdFusion, but are still unsure about a thing or another.

Following David Deraedt's unofficial, incomplete and subjective list of Adobe AIR enthusiasts to follow on twitter, I decided to compile my own official list of ColdFusion people to follow on twitter.
