ReviewsTo see current and past reviews of ColdFusion, visitwww.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/reviews_news/

ere have been strong improve-ments to PDF and spreadsheet

handling, object relationalmapping (ORM) built right in[to ColdFusion 9], tight integrationwith Flex, new and improvedAjax features, and a brand new,Eclipse-powered ColdFusion IDE.Dont look now, but I think youmight actually be able to buildsomething neat with all that.

SitePoint

July 2009

Adobe has just released version

9 with an impressive list of new

features that stand toe-to-toe

with anything youll nd from

Microso, IBM, Oracle, or any of

the elite open source options as

well....no other web development

toolset available today gives you

an equal balance ofexibilility,

scalability and out-of-the-boxRAD experience for dynamic web

applications than ColdFusion.

GartnerOctober 2009

ColdFusion 9 has several newfeatures of interest to enterprise

customers, particularly regardingMicroso SharePoint integrationand the ability to read and writeMicroso Oce documents...the new innovative array oftools with tightened integrationelevates ColdFusion to a newlevel of functionality allowingfor improved performancegains for developers andbusiness users alike.

IT News OnlineJuly 2009

...ColdFusion can provide uniquevalue that is not fully addressed

by any competing alternativetechnology. Most notably,ColdFusion is unmatched byany competitor for ease of useand technical capabilities. Whenwe combine this with cross-platform deployment, andsignificant integration intoboth Java and .NET, ColdFusionstands out as a compellingsolution for many IT challenges.

Adobe LiveCycle

Data Services ES

Enable advanced datamanagement and connectivityfor Flex applications. Publishdata in real time fromColdFusion to enablecollaboration and messaging.

Adobe AIR

Native support for Ajax, Flex,

and PDF means your ColdFusionapplications can easily moveto the desktop. Using SQLLitein the client and ORM onthe server, ColdFusion 9dynamically manages conictresolution and data synchroni-zation between the client andserver when your applicationcomes back online.

Adobe Flex 4

With high-speed connectivity,

ColdFusion lays the foundationfor RIAs. Take advantageof faster Flash Remotingto increase applicationperformance. Use ColdFusionas a Service to speed upRIA development by easilyaccessing many existingenterprise services via AMFwithout writing a singleline of CFML.

Adobe Flash Builder 4Accelerate the development

of RIAs with the integratedworkow between Flash Builder 4and ColdFusion Builder. UsingFlash Builder 4 with ColdFusionBuilder, you can introspectColdFusion components (CFCs)and automatically generatecorresponding ActionScriptobjects.
