I've added a few this morning - but now I need to go back through the list of sites I've developed and formulate a more comprehensive list. Thanks for this link, Ray. That little "so-called" programming language site you blogged about before has me kinda miffed that that don't list CFML and FLEX.

Who comes up with these so-called "rating" sites anyways?? Some of the programming languages on there...

Thanks, Ray for posting this. We all need to let Ben Forta know he's not the only one evangelizing CF. I tell every developer I know and have converted quite a few.

I just wanted to add that GotCFM.com will be more than just a site aggregator. I plan to add a ton of resources to help you promote CF to your peers, boss and clients. I hope to have position papers so you can effectively promote and sell CF-technologies. Apart from the site list be sure to check out the Resources page found here:

Rey...

MySpace should not be listed here, they are migrating from CF to ASP.NET (http://www.baselinemag.com/article2/0,1540,2082927...)

from the article: "When MySpace reached 9 million accounts, in early 2005, it began deploying new Web software written in Microsoft's C# programming language and running under ASP.NET. C# is the latest in a long line of derivatives of the C programming language, including C++ and Java, and was created to dovetail with the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft's model architecture for software components and distributed computing. ASP.NET, which evolved from the earlier Active Server Pages technology for Web site scripting, is Microsoft's current Web site programming environment.


Almost immediately, MySpace saw that the ASP.NET programs ran much more efficiently, consuming a smaller share of the processor power on each server to perform the same tasks as a comparable ColdFusion program. According to CTO Whitcomb, 150 servers running the new code were able to do the same work that had previously required 246. Benedetto says another reason for the performance improvement may have been that in the process of changing software platforms and rewriting code in a new language, Web site programmers reexamined every function for ways it could be streamlined.

Eventually, MySpace began a wholesale migration to ASP.NET. The remaining ColdFusion code was adapted to run on ASP.NET rather than on a Cold-Fusion server, using BlueDragon.NET, a product from New Atlanta Communications of Alpharetta, Ga., that automatically recompiles ColdFusion code for the Microsoft environment."

Ditto Rey. Denis, please note I don't run the site myself. So comments like this are best sent to Rey directly.

Kyle, I assume you mean Dennis.

MySpace was quoted publicly as saying their development process was to just "throw" stuff up on the boxes. It does not surprise me to hear that if a user writes bad code in language X it will need N machines, and if they then write better code in language Y the # of machines necessary will go down.

But - Rey's site shouldn't list just the well written sites. It should lie them all. ;)

Hello all!

Due to overwhelming support (and emails) I have just added coldfusion to thePeoplesToolbox (http://www.thepeoplestoolbox.com).

I will put coldfusion in the the left navigation bar for all to see once I have 40 good links submitted. Please do not spam the system with mediocre links, I've taken a lot of time to find the highest quality sites for the other categories.

Here is the place to submit your coldfusion links...

Thank you all so much for using the site, and taking the time to talk to me. I'm flattered that you think it's so important. :-)

Peace,

"Mediocre links"??? What's the standard for determining which link is quality and which is mediocre?

Awesome job, Kola!
