ColdFusion Open-Source Update - April 27, 2009
Two new projects and one update this (shortened) week. Since my last post was on Tuesday night, this covers a much shorter week and thus we don't have as many posts to cover. Either that or folks are too busy watching the insane playoff series between the Celtics and the Bulls. Being that I live in Boston, I am rooting for the Celts but my true team is the Heat, who look to have gotten things under control with the Hawks. Anyway, here's the ColdFusion open source posts from people who aren't too distracted by the NBA playoffs.
